The significance of depression in older adults.
Learn about different screening modalities for mental
health.

To learn about the prevalence of mental health in older
adults, including most common diagnosis.
“The World Health Organization defines health as ‘a state
of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and
not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Because
mental health is essential to overall health and well-being,
it must be recognized and treated in all Americans,
including older adults, with the same urgency as physical
health. For this reason, mental health is becoming an
increasingly important part of the public health mission. In
fact, the mental health of older Americans has been
identified as a priority by the Health People 2010
objectives, the 2005 White House Conference on Aging,
and the 1999 Surgeon General’s report on mental health.

Prevalence of Mental Health in
Older Adults It is estimated that 20% of people age 55 years or older
experience some type of mental health concern.
The most common conditions include anxiety, severe
cognitive impairment, and mood disorders.
Older adults go through a high rate of change in their
life, which can effect their mental health and their ability
to cope.
Older men have the highest suicide rate of any age
group.

Significance of Depression Depression is the most prevalent mental health
problem among older adults.
It can lead to impairments in physical, mental, and
social functioning.
The presences of depressive disorders often adversely
affects the course and complicates the treatment of
other chronic diseases.
Older adults with depression visit the doctor and
emergency room more often, use more medication,
incur higher outpatient charges, and stay longer in the
hospital.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Association of Chronic Disease Directors. The State of Mental Health and Aging in America
Depression Continued The rate of older adults with depressive symptoms
tends to increase with age, depression is not a normal
part of growing older.
80% of cases of depression are treatable
Unfortunately, depressive disorders are a widely under-
recognized condition and often are untreated or under
treated among older adults.
