Mental health is just as important as physical health, especially for seniors. As individuals age, they often face unique challenges such as loneliness, loss of independence, and changes in physical health, all of which can impact emotional well-being. Supporting mental health in seniors is essential to ensuring they enjoy a high quality of life.
Understanding Senior Mental Health Needs
Seniors often experience loneliness due to decreased mobility, loss of loved ones, or limited social interaction. This isolation can lead to depression or anxiety, affecting their overall well-being. Additionally, memory-related issues like dementia can contribute to emotional distress, making mental health support even more critical.
