Chronic Mental Problems

Chronic Mental Problems
According to the World Health Organization, over 15 percent of adults over the age of 60 suffer from a mental disorder. A common mental disorder among seniors is depression, occurring in seven percent of the elderly population. Unfortunately, this mental disorder is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.

It is hard to talk about a middle ground for something that is a fundamental right.

Chronic Mental Issues

Older adults account for over 18 percent of suicides deaths in the United States. Because depression can be a side effect of chronic health conditions, managing those conditions help. Additionally, promoting a lifestyle of healthy living such as betterment of living conditions and social support from family, friends or support groups can help treat depression.

Testimonials

I have been working with Care4uwe for 3 years, I work mainly with young ladies with learning disabilities, it’s very rewarding when they are able to do things for themselves after I have been working with them for a number of weeks. I help them cook, look after themselves and I always take them out in the fresh air for long walks, which the girls love, seeing the different seasons. We have been on a few holidays which they all loved. I have built a good relationship with their families, so they feel comfortable in contacting me. I also help in other services which means I have a wide experience working with people with different health issues. I enjoy working with the residents in all the services. I support them to eat healthily; as I love fruit and vegetables and they often choose to try my adventurous choices of food! It is such a rewarding job which I really enjoy.
