As people grow older, changes in memory, mood, and daily functioning can affect quality of life. While some changes are part of healthy ageing, others may signal conditions like dementia, depression, anxiety, or cognitive decline. Recognising these issues early and getting the right support can make a huge difference in helping seniors live independently, maintain social connections, and preserve dignity.

Why Choose a Clinic Over a Hospital?

For many older adults, hospital setups feel overwhelming, impersonal, and uncomfortable. Long queues, rushed consultations, and multiple referrals across departments can discourage seniors from seeking timely help.

That’s where the Mind & Memory Clinic at Apollo Clinic, Phoenix Marketcity (Velachery, Chennai) makes a difference. We provide a one-stop solution under one roof, where seniors can meet a psychiatrist, psychologist, speech therapist, and physician in a calm, friendly, and private clinic environment. This approach is designed to reduce stress, improve access, and ensure continuity of care.

Signs You Should Not Ignore

We encourage families to seek professional help if seniors experience:

• Forgetfulness, misplacing items, or confusion (possible dementia or mild cognitive impairment)

• Repeated sadness, low motivation, or loss of interest (late-life depression)

• Anxiety, irritability, or frequent worry (late-life anxiety disorders)

• Difficulty managing medicines, finances, or daily tasks (cognitive decline)

• Sleep disturbances, fatigue, or appetite changes (emotional or medical concerns)

Early intervention often reveals treatable causes such as thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies, medication side effects, or sleep disorders.
