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

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave my mother. I really appreciate all that you did!

Faith G.

I cannot say enough about this agency!! From the owners, Jennie and Ross to their care givers, they are top notch! They have been caring for my dad for some time now. They are compassionate, respectful, and patient and treat him with the dignity that he deserves. They have pretty much become part of the family.

SI HomeCare came into our lives at a very stressful time. Right from the first phone call, when they assured me they could help, it was like a huge weight had been lifted. The two aides that came in to take care of my Mother were wonderful.
