Senior Health and Wellbeing | May 15, 2024
What do you need to know about Depression in Seniors? Finding joy and purpose in regular daily activities and staying connected with loved ones are often regarded as instrumental in maintaining both physical and mental health in the golden years. For many aging adults, this may prove to be a challenging task as age-related difficulties such as medical conditions and mobility issues can make enjoying life more difficult.
Sadly, more than 1.8 senior Canadians struggle with some type of mental health problem or illness.
As aging adults are often reluctant to speak about their problems, you need to be particularly watchful for signs of depression in your loved one. This might include frequent changes in mood and behaviour, self-imposed isolation, weight issues, fatigue, as well as diminished enthusiasm about favourite activities.
Should you notice any of the aforementioned signs, be sure to talk to your parent and encourage them to engage in the following activities.
Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care. We offer senior care, post-surgery care, palliative care, personal care, senior living transition services, and much more!
