Depression in the senior population often goes unnoticed, yet it's a significant concern. At Mindful Support & Mental Health Solutions, we aim to shed light on this condition that can shadow the golden years. 14% of seniors aged 60+ suffer from a mental health issue, the most common of which are depression and anxiety. Changes such as retirement, loss of independence, loss of loved ones, and health issues can trigger or worsen depression, making it crucial to recognize the symptoms and seek supportive care. Early intervention can save lives.
Common signs of depression include persistent sadness, a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed, isolation, changes in sleep patterns, appetite variations, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Seniors may also express feelings of worthlessness or express concerns about being a burden.
Our approach at Mindful Support & Mental Health Solutions is to provide patient, empathetic support for seniors facing depression and other mental health issues. Through counseling, social support, and personalized interventions, we are committed to uplifting the spirits of our older clients and helping them find joy and contentment in their lives.
Acknowledging depression is the first step toward healing. If you notice these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, remember that help is available. Our team is dedicated to offering the compassionate care necessary for managing and overcoming depression.
