Geriatrics
Geriatric or Gerontology can be understood as a multi-disciplinary field of study, that is meant to encompass biological sciences, study of medicine or medicinal chemistry, psychological aspects, sociology and sociocultural aspect and so on. Psychologists and social science researchers have emphasized upon different aspects of aging which have given way towards the discussion about the importance of biological limitations of aging versus the importance of the psychosocial environment. In the process of better understanding the process of aging, the psychologists have come up with several theories about the causes of aging. Theories including the age process itself have been proposed. Here it is worth mentioning that the purpose of this project is to critically analyze some of the theoretical underpinnings of aging, besides ensuring well being in the lives of the aging people, specially after the medical facilities have developed to uphold the physical health of the seniors.
