Aging & Mental Health
Aging and mental health involve changes in emotional well-being as people grow older. It’s normal for older adults to experience feelings like sadness or worry, but persistent mental health issues such as depression or anxiety are common and can impact quality of life. Factors like health conditions, loss of loved ones, and social isolation can influence mental health in later years. Addressing mental health through support, counseling, and community engagement helps seniors maintain emotional resilience, improve daily functioning, and enjoy a fulfilling, connected life.
