Aging and Mental Health

As the global population ages, the importance of mental health care for older adults has become increasingly urgent. This session explores the unique psychological challenges faced by the elderly, including cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, and dementia-related disorders. Biological changes, comorbid physical illnesses, medication effects, and social isolation are discussed in the context of psychiatric vulnerability in later life. Multidisciplinary approaches to diagnosis and intervention including geriatric assessments, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication adjustments are highlighted. The session also emphasizes preventive care, mental stimulation, and lifestyle modifications that promote cognitive resilience and emotional well-being. Ethical issues such as autonomy, end-of-life decision-making, and elder abuse are examined through a psychiatric lens. Special attention is given to the mental health needs of caregivers, often overlooked in service delivery models. The session encourages clinicians to adopt compassionate, age-sensitive strategies and to advocate for increased mental health resources for aging populations, thereby ensuring dignity, functionality, and quality of life for the elderly.
