Abstract

As the geriatric population continues to grow in the United States, explorations into understanding the role of mental health for this age group have become increasingly paramount. Many mental health problems within the geriatric population are experienced at a higher rate than adult normative samples, including certain psychiatric and neurocognitive disorders. Among these, one of the most highly prevalent psychiatric disorders experienced in older age is depression. As mental health can affect a range of different spheres including social relationships and medical outcomes, careful evaluation and treatment of psychiatric concerns and behavioral issues can help optimize factors and potentially improve quality of life. Also, recognition of the historical context of mental health concerns in the elderly is important in setting the stage for improved understanding of current mental health concerns in this population. This chapter will review a brief history of mental health with a focus on key aspects related to geriatric issues, explore some common mental health concerns experienced within elderly populations, and provide an overview of depression in the elderly. Also included is an overview of mental health treatment options and future directions for research.
