rel=\"noopener\">one in five seniors experience mental health issues<\/a> not associated with aging. This increased risk of depression and anxiety is why it\u2019s so important to invest in emotional well-being, as well as physical well-being as a part of senior care. Whether you\u2019re a caregiver, a loved one, or a senior yourself, there are ways to address mental health concerns before they escalate. Isolation is one of the biggest factors contributing to worsening senior mental health.<\/p><p>Joining a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asccare.com\/communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">senior living community<\/a> can have a huge impact on mental well-being. If you\u2019re not sure if a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asccare.com\/is-senior-living-the-right-choice-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">community is right for you<\/a>, then practicing emotional resilience and maintaining social relationships can also make a positive impact on senior mental health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6353b03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6353b03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"what-is\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\nWhat Is Emotional Resilience and Social Well Being and Why Are They Important?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-131a633 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"131a633\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Emotional resilience describes someone\u2019s ability to adapt to crises. Seniors often face crises like the death of a close friend, the loss of a spouse, or worsening physical health. Without being able to adapt to these and similar events, seniors\u2019 mental health can seriously decline. A person\u2019s physical health can also be impacted by the inability to cope with crises. While rare, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/broken-heart-syndrome\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broken heart syndrome<\/a> can cause serious, and in some cases irreparable, physical damage to the heart.<\/p><p>Social well-being, on the other hand, refers to a sense of belonging to a community. As mentioned before, isolation can be one of the biggest problems seniors face if they live on their own. For seniors that still desire to live on their own (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asccare.com\/lifestyle-care-options\/#IL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Independent Living<\/a>) senior living communities often offer services to emphasize independence while still offering the opportunity to be a part of a close community. Emotional resilience can make a positive impact on someone\u2019s social well-being, but everyone still needs those direct connections \u2014 to family, to friends, to the community \u2014 to fully round out their emotional health.<\/p><p>Both emotional resilience and social well-being are important parts of your overall mental health.

Often, these signs are attributed to the aging process, or seniors are isolated enough that their distress goes unnoticed. Physical symptoms, such as increased fatigue, can even be signs of depression, which seniors may not know. Despite this, around 34 million Americans age 65 or older suffer from some form of depression. Depression and other mood disorders can have serious health implications for seniors, and even increase the risk of suicide if left unattended.<\/p><p>It\u2019s important to understand the signs of depression in seniors, to seek help. Here are some signs that you or your loved one may be struggling with mental health:<\/p><ul><li>Voluntary social isolation<\/li><li>Major changes in behavior<\/li><li>Memory issues<\/li><li>Substance abuse<\/li><li>Loss of appetite<\/li><li>Reduced motivation for previously enjoyed activities<\/li><li>Sleeping over 12 hours a day<\/li><\/ul><p>If you or your loved one are exhibiting any of these symptoms, then talk to your primary care provider.

These clubs could be book clubs, card-playing clubs, bird watching groups \u2014 the possibilities are virtually endless. Paid club memberships, such as golf clubs or country clubs, may also be of interest to seniors and can come with some worthwhile perks.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c8c7fd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3c8c7fd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99dc61c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"99dc61c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e98551 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e98551\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Church events:<\/strong> Many seniors can rely on a church community for social support. Churches not only meet weekly, but often host holiday events, fundraisers, and other social gatherings. For seniors who want to get more involved in their church, they may consider joining a community or becoming an elder.<\/li><li><strong>Charity organizations:<\/strong> Charity organizations are often looking for volunteers or organizers. This is a great outlet for social fulfillment and community connection. Charities also host community events, such as walks, galas, and fundraisers that can be a great social experience even if you aren\u2019t directly involved in the organization.<\/li><\/ul><p>As a caregiver, you can assist your senior family member by searching out these groups online, or getting in touch with local organizations of interest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asccare.com\/social-activities-seniors-assisted-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social opportunities can vary by community<\/a>, so it\u2019s worthwhile to look into the organizations around you to find a quality match.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2759c52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2759c52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"resources\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mental Healthcare Resources for Senior Citizens\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ce2680 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ce2680\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3726310\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">70% of adults 55 and older with mood or anxiety disorder don\u2019t use any kind of mental health treatment<\/a>, according to the National Institutes of Health. Negative attitudes toward therapy, and aging in general, have presented the deepest barriers for seniors in need of mental health services, but accessibility also plays a part. The resources below can help make mental health management more accessible to seniors, while the strategies above can help destigmatize mental health practices.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Mental health treatment:<\/strong> Your primary healthcare provider may be able to recommend a therapist or medication regime for mental health concerns. Referrals are typically covered by insurance. However, there are some senior-specific organizations, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncoa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Council on Aging<\/a>, that may be able to provide more specialized treatment and services.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asccare.com\/how-to-properly-manage-medications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Medication management:<\/strong><\/a> The mismanagement of medication can lead to serious health problems and even death. Tools that can help you manage medication properly can include timer caps, which let you know how long it\u2019s been since the pill bottle was open. Locking pill bottles, that auto-lock for a certain amount of time after opening, and daily medication dispensers, to name a few. You can typically find these tools at your local pharmacy, or online.<\/li><li><strong>Blogs and educational resources:<\/strong> The first step to creating better mental health practices is understanding and learning about them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asccare.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senior care blogs<\/a> can be a great place for seniors, as well as loved ones, to learn more about the obstacles they\u2019re facing, and how to overcome them. Free educational resources are often available online, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/publications\/older-adults-listing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physical publications<\/a> that can help you get started.<\/li><li><strong>Senior discounts:<\/strong> Many retail businesses offer a senior discount, which can help seniors get access to necessary or desired items at lower costs. A gym membership discount for seniors, for example, could allow someone to partake in an exercise class they normally couldn\u2019t afford. This helps boost their social well-being and can have a positive effect on their mental health. You can ask any business if they offer senior discounts, or look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theseniorlist.com\/senior-discounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discount directories<\/a> online.<\/li><li><strong>Transportation services:<\/strong> Many cities offer low or no-cost transportation services for seniors. These services can help seniors who no longer can or wish to drive stay connected to their community. You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/eldercare.acl.gov\/Public\/Resources\/LearnMoreAbout\/Transportation.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eldercare Locator<\/a> to find transportation services in your area.<\/li><\/ul><p>It\u2019s never too late to start looking after your emotional well-being. As little as five minutes of mindfulness a day can help regulate your mood and decrease stress. Intentionally caring for your mental and emotional health can vastly improve your quality of life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0267de5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0267de5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Did you enjoy this article?
