Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a collection of selected papers from the XIX Spanish Psychogeriatry Congress (https://congreso2022.sepg.es/). The Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) provides an opportunity to publish the selected data that were presented at the meeting in Valladolid (Spain).
One of the extremely important missions of this meeting was to present the recent advances in the mental health of and the psychological as well as psychiatric disorders affecting elderly people. With this in mind, the aim of the present Special Issue is to publish selected papers on:
- Advances in new developments in geriatric psychiatry, mainly concerning suicide, depression, cognitive impairment, and behavioral disorders.
- Impact of loneliness on the quality of life of elderly people.
- Approaches from different models of care and settings.
- Advances in new therapies for curing and improving the quality of care.
The Scientific Committee will check the best talks of the Congress and invite the authors to submit papers to this Special Issue in order to publish the most relevant advances shared during the meeting.
