Over 65 = 'old age psychiatry' care?

I'm pretty sure this is the case in my area. Is it in yours?

Because I am 67 doesn't mean I am less 'with it' and wouldn't find it more stimulating to be with younger people. Fortunately I've steered clear of 'the system' itself so far, thanks to a super GP and a personal interest in pharmacology.
