Studies suggest that 1 in 8 older adults (over the age of 60) suffer from some sort of mental illness with depression being the most common. As people age, they may experience certain life changes that impact their mental health, such as coping with a serious illness or losing a loved one. Although some people will adjust to these life changes, some may experience feelings of grief, social isolation, or loneliness.
Signs of poor mental health in elderly:
Social isolation
Appetite changes
Confusion or disorientation
Changes in personal hygiene
Loss of interest in activities
Not taking medications correctly
