Psychiatric

Half of Americans will experience a mental illness during their lifetimes. Mental or emotional problems affect all aspects of our lives. We may become so overwhelmed that we cannot function day-to-day. Signs and symptoms that adults and seniors may exhibit include, but are not be limited to, one or more of the following:

  • Suicidal behavior and/or threats.
  • Behavioral changes/dementia.
  • Severe agitation.
  • Auditory or visual hallucinations.

Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not a normal part of aging. Dementia is a syndrome caused by a variety of brain illnesses that affect memory, thinking, behavior and the ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80 percent of cases, and nearly one in ever five dollars spent by Medicare is on people with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
