?? "Mental health is just one component of brain health. I often think about this traditional dichotomy or split between neurologists and psychiatrists, and how we're really still looking at the same part of the body. The overlap between what we do is really quite significant." – Dr. Patrick Hou, MD, MPH, clinical psychiatrist at Isaac Health Tune in as Isaac Health's Drs. Joel Salinas, MD, MBA, MSc, FAAN and Patrick Hou discuss the importance of framing mental health as brain health, and how there is often a bidirectional relationship between neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) and psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression. ?? As research has shown, untreated depression and anxiety among older adults can increase risk for dementia onset and progression. In a similar vein, the emotional toll of ADRD for individuals and families can also lead to heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Isaac Health is proud to offer psychiatric and behavioral health services under the flagship brain health program. These services are designed to support the emotional and psychological well-being of people living with ADRD and their loved ones.

We're so excited to partner with Greater Good Health to offer comprehensive #dementia care and family caregiver support in Montana ??

Statewide, approximately 21,000 people aged 65+ are living with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) today, and an estimated 17,000 family caregivers bear the burden of the disease.
