Andrew Teodorczuk is a Geriatric Psychiatrist based in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane, QLD. He works with older adults who are dealing with changes in mood, thinking, and behaviour, and he also supports families when things feel confusing or stressful.
In many cases, people see a geriatric psychiatrist when symptoms don’t fit neatly into one area. Sometimes it’s about memory and day-to-day thinking. Other times it’s about big shifts in sleep, alertness, personality, or confusion. Andrew’s work focuses on helping work out what’s going on, and what can be done next.
His clinical work includes delirium, dementia, and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). Delirium can come on fairly quickly and may look like sudden confusion, trouble staying awake, or changes in behaviour. Dementia, on the other hand, tends to build over time, with ongoing issues around memory, planning, and everyday tasks. With Lewy Body Dementia, symptoms can be a bit more mixed, and people may notice things like thinking changes along with movement and sleep-related problems.
Because these conditions can affect the whole household, Andrew looks at the bigger picture. That means taking time to understand the pattern of symptoms, what has changed, and how it’s impacting daily life. He also works out what supports might help, alongside the medical care already in place.
Andrew’s background is in psychiatry with a clear focus on older people. Over time, this kind of work builds a good understanding of how health, medications, and brain changes can overlap in older age. It also helps when the presentation is complex, and you need someone who can think through both mental health and brain-related symptoms in a practical way.
If you’re looking for a clinician in Brisbane who is used to working with delirium and dementia, Andrew Teodorczuk is located in Kelvin Grove. You can expect clear, calm conversations, with a focus on making the next steps feel doable rather than overwhelming.
