Ageing and Mental Health

Aging refers to the natural process of growing older, which can bring physical changes and health challenges. Mental health in older adults involves emotional well-being and cognitive functioning. As people age, they may experience issues like memory lapses, depression, or anxiety due to factors such as health problems, loss of loved ones, or social isolation. Maintaining good mental health is essential for quality of life and can often be supported through social engagement, physical activity, and professional care when needed. Recognizing and addressing mental health concerns in aging individuals helps improve their overall well-being and independence.
