Mental illness is common, affecting 20% of adults each year, with 60% of those with a mental illness receiving no treatment services and long delays between symptom onset and receiving help. The Niagara region has higher rates of hospitalization, poor mental health status, and suicide compared to Ontario averages. Stigma surrounding mental illness can negatively impact those affected by causing negative attitudes, shame, secrecy around their condition, and preventing people from seeking help, worsening their illness.

Senior Depression
Depression is a common problem among older adults, with around 2 million seniors suffering from full-blown depression and another 5 million experiencing less severe forms. Common causes of depression in seniors include loneliness, isolation, lack of purpose, health problems, and recent bereavement. Signs include sadness, fatigue, loss of interest in activities, social withdrawal, weight loss, sleep disturbances, and in some cases suicidal thoughts. Getting help through treatment and support programs can help address senior depression.
Geriatric Depression
The document discusses geriatric depression, providing diagnostic criteria and symptoms. It presents four case studies of elderly patients presenting with depressive symptoms that could be associated with medical conditions. Key symptoms of geriatric depression include changes in sleep, appetite, mood, and psychomotor functioning. Medical illnesses like Parkinson's disease or cancers can also cause or mask depressive symptoms in elderly patients. Treatment involves identifying and addressing any underlying medical causes, as well as cautious use of antidepressants while monitoring for side effects.
Elderly mental health
This document discusses the development of an artificial companion called "Buddy" to help address issues of loneliness and mental health concerns in elderly populations. It notes that 20% of those over 55 experience mental health issues, and loneliness is a major problem for many seniors. Buddy is proposed as a conversational robot that provides mental stimulation, surveys health data, and reduces isolation. It aims to lower rates of depression and suicide in lonely or isolated elders. An evaluation plan and funding needs are outlined to develop and test Buddy over multiple years.
Women and depression and culture
The document discusses depression, noting that it will be the second leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020. It states that about 10% of individuals will experience depression in a given year, and that rates are higher for women, with approximately 21% of women experiencing depression in their lifetime. The text outlines various risk factors for depression, treatments, and strategies for prevention and management.
ARGEC Module: Assessment of Geriatric Depression Final
This document provides an overview of geriatric depression, including prevalence rates, risk factors, cultural considerations, symptoms, differential diagnosis, and assessment tools. Some key points:
- Depression affects 15-13% of older adults, with higher rates among nursing home residents (54.4%). Risk factors include disability, cognitive impairment, poor health, bereavement and loneliness.
- Cultural factors like race, ethnicity and gender impact presentation and treatment. Assessment considers atypical symptoms like somatic complaints and involves screening tools like the PHQ-9 or GDS.
- Differential diagnosis distinguishes depression from conditions like dementia, delirium, medical illness and medication side effects. Multiple assessment instruments are highlighted for their validity
Elderly Mental Health
Nearly 20% of seniors suffer from some form of mental illness, with the most common being dementia, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's. The rate of suicide among seniors is the highest of all age groups at twice the national average for those over 85. Common mental disorders seen in seniors include dementia, often mistaken as just a part of aging but is actually a form of mental illness; Alzheimer's, a form of dementia that causes progressive memory loss and cognitive decline; anxiety disorders characterized by high anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias; and schizophrenia, affecting thoughts and behavior through delusions and hallucinations. As a caregiver, providing humor, reassurance, distraction, understanding, and ensuring medication compliance and doctor visits can help

Developmental Crisis in Aging: Depression
This document discusses depression as a developmental crisis in aging. It provides statistics showing that major depressive disorder affects 1-4% of older adults aged 65+, while subsyndromal depression affects 10-15% of this population. Depression is more prevalent among older women. Common symptoms and risk factors for depression are described, including biological, psychological, and social factors. Tools for screening and assessing depression in older adults include the Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview-Depression, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The significance for health professionals is that research, practice/teaching, and policy need to consider gender-specific causes and interventions for late-life depression.

Depression what causes it?
Depression can be caused by a combination of recent life stressors or events along with longer-term difficulties and personal risk factors. Ongoing problems like long-term unemployment or an abusive relationship are more likely to cause depression than recent stressors alone. Genetics also play a role, as depression may run in families, increasing one's risk. It is common for depression and anxiety to occur simultaneously. A mix of circumstances and individual factors influence a person's chances of developing depression.
Depression and Aging Infographic
This infographic provides information about depression in older adults, noting that it is a treatable medical illness rather than a normal part of aging. It discusses the symptoms of depression, including memory problems, social withdrawal, and inability to sleep. Untreated depression can negatively impact physical health and increase risks like suicide. The infographic recommends treatment for depression in older adults should combine medication with therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and support groups.
Depression and Elderly 2012
This document discusses the treatment of depression in the elderly. It notes that while healthy older adults are not at greater risk of depression than younger adults, risk factors in the elderly include multiple losses, medical illness, and a history of previous depression. Depression is common in elderly patients with medical conditions like stroke, cancer, and heart disease. Treatment includes addressing any underlying medical causes or drugs that may be contributing, starting with low doses of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors which have fewer side effects in older patients, and considering psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or mood stabilizers if needed. Close monitoring for side effects and compliance is important when medicating elderly patients.

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible brain disease that is the fourth leading cause of death among older adults. It destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to function. About 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and the number is expected to increase by 70% by 2020 as the population ages. The disease causes changes in brain structure and function that can be seen in brain scans. While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, symptoms can be temporarily treated with medication.
Old age
The document discusses several common misconceptions about aging and the elderly. It notes that views of the elderly are often based on stereotypes rather than facts. While physical strength and senses do naturally decline with age, mental abilities can remain intact. The elderly remain capable of learning new skills and activities. Losing a spouse is a difficult change, but sexuality in the elderly is more common than assumed and depends on health and social factors rather than age alone.

Bipolar disorder involves dramatic mood changes between manic and depressed phases, with the manic phase involving impulsive behaviors and the depressed phase featuring withdrawal and sadness. It affects 3-5% of the US population and 15-20% of children if a parent has it, often co-occurring with other psychiatric disorders. Diagnosis involves a questionnaire about experiences and treatment typically involves prescription medication to manage symptoms, though the illness remains.
The aging brain
The document discusses the aging brain and Alzheimer's disease, providing information on risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and ways faith communities can help. Key points include that Alzheimer's risk increases with age and family history, symptoms involve cognitive decline, and faith leaders can support those with Alzheimer's through flexible practices, memory boxes, and caregiver respite. The document emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors like exercise and social engagement in maintaining brain health.
Women and Addiction: Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Women are disproportionately affected by addiction and substance abuse issues. They have higher rates of depression, PTSD, and mortality compared to men. Biological factors also make women more susceptible to the intoxicating effects of substances. Women are also less likely to receive treatment for addiction compared to men. Family responsibilities and pressures in the workplace can also make addiction harder for women to address. Doctors also prescribe psychotropic medications to women at twice the rate of men, increasing risks. The document examines these issues facing women and addiction.

One key finding from this landmark study is that depression and anxiety had the greatest impact on health status for clients with PD.
Adolescent Depression: What We All Should Know
Depression in adolescents is a serious issue. Major Depressive Disorder is diagnosed when a depressed mood or loss of interest persists for at least two weeks and causes functional impairment. Adolescence is a period of heightened vulnerability due to brain development and sensitivity to social and environmental factors. Risk factors for adolescent depression include bullying, media use, sleep problems, family history, stressful life events, and LGBTQ identity. Left untreated, depression can have long-term negative consequences including poor outcomes, recurrence of depression, and increased suicide risk. Current treatment approaches include psychotherapy such as CBT and medication like SSRIs, though medications may have side effects in teens. Future directions focus on mindfulness, acceptance, and improving emotion regulation skills. Maint

Mood disorders are characterized by serious changes in mood that disrupt daily life. The three major types are depressive disorder, manic disorder, and bipolar disorder. Depressive disorder involves depressed mood, while mania or hypomania involve elevated moods. Substance use disorder, especially alcohol abuse, is more common in men with mood disorders than women. People with bipolar disorder and substance use disorders tend to have an earlier onset of both conditions and more hospitalizations. The causes of mood disorders involve biological and genetic factors as well as trauma and substance abuse.

Caring for Loved Ones With Parkinson’s Disease
The document provides information for caregivers of those with Parkinson's disease (PD). It describes PD as a progressive movement disorder caused by nerve cell death in the brain. Symptoms include tremors, slow movement, stiffness, and impaired balance. Caregivers should educate themselves about PD, understand that symptoms vary daily and manage the disease through equipment, documentation, and home modifications. Communication is important and caregivers should acknowledge their own feelings by talking to support groups. The document offers tips on caring for issues like freezing, swallowing difficulties, and tremors.

“The quality of life in patients with MS is not solely determined by physical disability, but rather by the level of social support, living area, depression, level of education, employment, fatigue and religiosity. Accordingly, we suggest that these should be evaluated in every patient with MS as they may be modified by targeted interventions.” (Yamout et al, 2013)
Section 6 caring for persons with confusion and dementia-1
This document discusses confusion, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. It begins by explaining how changes in the brain can cause cognitive issues. Confusion has many potential causes like infections, drugs, or reduced blood flow. Dementia involves loss of cognitive function interfering with daily life and is not normal aging. Early signs include memory loss or getting lost. Some dementias can be treated if caused by other medical issues. Alzheimer's disease damages brain cells controlling thinking and behavior, causing memory loss and other issues getting worse over time. Care involves supporting the person and family as the disease progresses and abilities decline.
Multiple personalities
Multiple Personalities
Multiple Personalities
Multiple personalities is a rare mental disorder in which an individual's personality appears to be separated by two or more specific personalities, all being connectable to that of a normal individual.
Incidence
Statistics show that the rate of DID occurrences are roughly .01% to 1% of the general population.
-More than 1/3 of people say that they feel as if they are watching themselves in a movie at times, and 7% of the population may have undiagnosed dissociative disorder.
Causes
The causes of multiple personalities disorder is controversial. The debate of many different hypothesis include:
-Could possibly be a reaction to a trauma.
-An innate ability to dissociate easily.
-Repeated episodes of severe physical or sexual abuse
as a child.
-The lack of supportive or comforting people to counteract
abusive relationships.
-The influence of other relatives with dissociative
symptoms or disorders.
Symptoms
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, symptoms include "the presence or two or more distinct identities or personality traits"that alternate control of the individuals behavior, accompanied by the inability to recall personal information beyond what is expected through normal forgetfulness.
-Amnesia
-Depersonalization
-Derealization
-Identity Disturbances
Diagnosis
There is not real way to determine whether or not a person has DID. Many physicians have different outlooks on what DID is and what determines if a patient has the disorder or not. Most are misdiagnosed as depressed. But the average DID patient is in the mental health care system for 6 to 7 years before being diagnosed as a person with DID.
-The criteria, according to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, require that an adult be recurrently controlled by two or more discrete personalities, accompanied my memory lapses for important information that is not caused by alcohol, drugs, or medications.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
