If you or someone you love is depressed, don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for help. Without assistance from a medical professional,
the depression may not go away and can even get worse. Belmont Behavioral Health is a leader in treating later-life depression.
Our full-time staff of geropsychiatrists—psychiatrists who specialize in geriatric medicine—can help develop a treatment plan
and assist with planning medications, therapy or both.
We offer services to fit individualized needs, including inpatient, outpatient and partial hospitalization options. Belmont
is known throughout the region for its Geriatric Partial Hospitalization / Intensive Outpatient Programs. For more information
