Older Adult Mental Health

Older adult mental health refers to the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals aged 65 and above. As people age, they may face challenges such as loss, physical health issues, and cognitive decline, which can lead to conditions like depression, anxiety, or dementia. Promoting mental health in older adults involves early detection of mental health issues, access to appropriate care, and creating supportive environments. This ensures they remain engaged, maintain independence, and enjoy a good quality of life. Understanding and addressing their mental health needs is crucial for enhancing their overall well-being.
