As people age, changes inevitably occur. These changes can bring concerns related to life, meaning, and mortality with them. Additionally, physical conditions or health problems may cause mental distress. Mental health professionals can help aging adults address their concerns.
Available Treatment Options
Behavioral and cognitive interventions effectively deal with an array of concerns in the aging population, such as examining patterns of thought or engaging in mindfulness behaviors to decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.
Therapists can also help aging adults manage concerns by examining their past and viewing their life as a growth process.
If adults are experiencing memory issues, exploring the past and revisiting pleasant memories can help increase positive outcomes. Cognitive exercises such as working on puzzles, playing games, or listening to music can also be helpful.
