Studies show that seniors are at greater risk of some mental disorders and their complications than younger people. Many of these illnesses can be accurately diagnosed and treated. However, many seniors are reluctant to seek psychiatric treatment that could alleviate or cure their symptoms and return them to their previous lifestyle.
If you are looking for help with a mental health problem or illness contact your family physician or your local emergency department. Or check to see what mental health services are available to you.
