Elderly mental health

Elderly mental health refers to the emotional, psychological, and cognitive well-being of older adults. As people age, they may face challenges like memory loss, depression, anxiety, or loneliness, often due to health issues, life changes, or social isolation. Maintaining good mental health is essential for quality of life, independence, and overall well-being. Support can include medical treatment, counseling, social engagement, and healthy lifestyle choices. Recognizing and addressing mental health concerns in older adults is vital to help them lead fulfilling, resilient lives.
