Mental Health Problems and Disorders

Suffering in Silence
Did you know that so many of our eldercare population are suffering in silence with tremendous mental health ailments? For all of their lives, many have been able to deal openly and effectively with the challenges they faced, but once they find themselves in a facility setting, many just give up hope and loose sight of the values they held so dear for so long. That is why providing them with professional psychological services from a provider who specializes in caring for the mental health of seniors is so essential in helping them overcome these debilitating mental health ailments.

Depression
Did you know that over thirty percent of all nursing home residents are currently in a state of clinical depression? They struggle with feelings of social isolation, abandonment, and hopelessness. Without proper diagnosis and treatment these residents will continue to require additional staff time and attention due to their condition, as well as being more likely to progress into more serious mental health problems.

Mental Disorders
Did you know that at least twenty five percent of all residents are in need of treatment for serious mental health problems like Suicidal Ideation, Paranoia, and Delusions just to name a few? These more serious and challenging mental health problems need to be diagnosed early and treated by professionals so that the danger residents pose to themselves and others is mitigated.

Behavioral Problems
Did you know that many residents who engage in anti-social behavior are masking deeper emotional issues that need to be treated? Whether it is loosing the desire to eat, becoming withdrawn, no longer desiring to care for themselves, or acting out, behavioral problems like this are direct indicators of a residents deteriorating mental health and the need for professional psychological assessment and counseling.
