Thank you for volunteering. Geropsych is probably one of the most depressing subspecialties one could pick. My mom was put into an elderly psych ward in a hospital, in error we believe, shortly before she died. She was end-stage COPD, but was also anorexic. It was a horrible, scary place, and I still shudder to think of her there.
