FasPsych Expands Geriatric Telepsychiatry Services via Telemedicine to Deliver Expert Mental Health Care for Older Adults with Comorbidities and Polypharmacy

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - April 30, 2026 - FasPsych, the nation's leading provider of behavioral health and geriatric telepsychiatry services, today announced the expansion of its specialized geriatric psychiatry telemedicine programs.

Designed specifically for long-term care facilities, assisted living communities, hospitals, and senior health networks, FasPsych's HIPAA-compliant geriatric telepsychiatry platform brings expert mental health care directly to elderly populations, eliminating travel barriers and ensuring timely access to board-certified specialists.

Company Leads Outreach to Medical Professionals on the Critical Need for Board-Certified Geriatric Psychiatric Specialists in Senior Care

As the U.S. senior population surges-with the entire Baby Boomer generation now aged 65 or older by 2030 and fewer than 1,400 board-certified geriatric psychiatrists nationwide-demand for geriatric telepsychiatry has never been greater. FasPsych connects healthcare organizations to licensed geriatric psychiatrists and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) through secure real-time video consultations. Services include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, dementia-related behavioral support, late-life mood disorder treatment, and coordinated care planning-all seamlessly integrated into existing facility workflows.

"Older adults frequently experience complex mental health challenges compounded by chronic physical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD, and dementia," said a FasPsych spokesperson. "These comorbidities create a dangerous cycle that worsens both physical and mental health outcomes. Polypharmacy-taking five or more medications daily, often ten or more in seniors-dramatically increases risks of falls, delirium, adverse drug interactions, sedation, and preventable hospitalizations. FasPsych is actively educating medical professionals, primary care providers, and facility administrators on the essential role of geriatric psychiatric specialists who are uniquely trained in evidence-based medication reconciliation, safe deprescribing, and holistic treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of elderly patients."

FasPsych's proactive outreach campaign highlights these risks and promotes the integration of geriatric psychiatry specialists into senior care protocols. The company has released in-depth educational resources, including two targeted blog posts:
