Contextul bioetic al sănătății mintale la pacienții senectuții

Abstract

Mental health in the elderly is an increasingly important issue in today’s medical and ethical discourse. Aging is not merely a biological phenomenon, but a complex psychosocial and existential process that involves challenges to identity, autonomy, and quality of life. From a bioethical standpoint, ensuring the mental health of geriatric patients means defending their dignity, respecting their autonomy, and ensuring equitable access to psychological and psychiatric care.
