Caring for the Caregivers: Mental Health Support for Alzheimer’s Caregivers

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is an act of deep love and commitment. But it can also be overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally draining. Over time, the demands of caregiving can begin to affect your own mental health, making it harder to show up in the way you want to.

At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we understand that caregivers need care too. You deserve support, not just for the work you’re doing, but for the toll it can take on your body, mind, and spirit.

At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we believe that understanding MCI is an important step in supporting brain health. Early awareness and intervention can make a real difference in maintaining independence and quality of life.

Geriatric Mental Health: Addressing Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness, and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults

Aging is a natural part of life—but the mental health challenges that often accompany aging are not inevitable. Depression, anxiety, loneliness, dementia, and cognitive decline are common struggles among older adults, yet they are frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed.

At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we recognize that the brain and body change with age, and mental health care must adapt accordingly. Through Objective Psychiatry, spectral EEG (sEEG) brain mapping, personalized NeuroSync™ plans, and integrative care models, we offer hope, healing, and renewed vitality to seniors facing these challenges.
