Mental Health and Aging
Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety are NOT a normal part of aging and are hard to discuss, diagnose and treat. The good news is that there are innovative programs, tools and resources that can help.

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.

Counselling and psychotherapy can be as effective for older people as younger people in improving mental wellbeing. Over 25% of those over 65 in the UK suffer from severe depression, and older adults experience unique life transitions like retirement, loss of independence, health issues, and bereavement that make them vulnerable to poor mental health. However, older people only access psychological therapy services like IAPT at about half the rate of the general population, despite greater risks of depression from life changes.
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.

Alzheimers
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive form of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. It develops due to factors such as age, family history, and genes. Symptoms usually develop slowly over time and include difficulty remembering new information as well as disorientation and mood changes. There is no cure for Alzheimer's but available treatments can temporarily slow symptoms and improve quality of life. Maintaining brain health through a healthy lifestyle may help reduce risks of developing Alzheimer's.
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

Each day in Canada, more than 25 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and by 2031 the number of Canadians diagnosed is expected to double. People with Parkinson's have the highest rate of prescription drug use compared to other neurological conditions, and over 60% experience cognitive issues like memory loss, anxiety, and depression. Individuals with Parkinson's may lose up to 15 healthy years and die prematurely, while also facing high annual out-of-pocket costs second only to those with spinal cord injuries.
Autism
This document discusses autism in Saudi Arabia. It defines autism as a developmental disability affecting communication, social interaction, and how individuals experience their surroundings. Symptoms include difficulties with speech, movement, communication, and sensitivity to light/dark. Treatment involves behavior training through specialized institutes as autism requires round-the-clock care. Statistics from the CDC show autism diagnoses increasing from 1 in 2500 to 1 in 68 in the US. Saudi Arabia faces challenges of aggression in autistic children and lack of communication. The country has established over 20 centers and invested over 900 million to help autistic children through specialized training for doctors, nurses, and parents. Links are provided

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.

Mental health in
Mental disorders are common in the elderly, including depression, suicide, anxiety, and dementia. Diagnosing these disorders can be difficult, as symptoms may be caused by physical health problems or medications. Approximately 7 million older adults suffer from depression, which is not normal aging, and those with depression often attempt suicide successfully. Factors that contribute to depression include altered sleep, poor nutrition, pain, illness, loss of a spouse, isolation, substance abuse, and life changes like injury. Physicians use charts to determine if memory loss is normal aging or a sign of dementia by considering independence, concern of family members, impairment of recent memory and skills.
Alzheimer
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly with memory loss and difficulty recalling recent events. Over time, symptoms worsen and later stages involve problems with daily living. There are three main phases - mild, moderate, and severe - with increasing memory loss, confusion, and dependence on others for care. While exercise may benefit daily living activities, current treatments only temporarily improve symptoms and do not stop or reverse the progression of the disease. Alzheimer's risk increases after age 65 and is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

What are the consequences of dementia and what are stereotypical symptoms of this debilitating condition?
Alzheimers power point
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia that typically affects those over 65 years old, though some are diagnosed younger, and it causes memory loss, confusion, and difficulty completing tasks as the brain progressively forgets memories and information. While there is no cure, medications can help postpone symptoms and death for Alzheimer's patients.
Alzheimers ACC
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia in older adults. It causes memory loss and cognitive decline. There are six stages of Alzheimer's that range from mild forgetfulness to very severe cognitive decline where verbal abilities are lost. Delirium and depression can sometimes mimic Alzheimer's symptoms but have different causes and treatments. Caregivers should get educated on the disease, maintain self-care, and do cognitive activities at home with their loved one who has Alzheimer's. Seeking medical help is important to properly diagnose and treat the condition.

The document provides information about Alzheimer's disease including what it is, its stages, risk factors, symptoms, treatment options, and resources for coping and prevention. It describes Alzheimer's as a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss and problems with thinking. The stages of the disease are described from very mild to severe. Risk factors include age, family history, and medical conditions. The document outlines diagnostic processes and treatments that can help slow symptoms but currently there is no cure. Resources for coping and prevention strategies are also discussed.
Mental Illness And The Aging Presentation
Mental illness is often misdiagnosed or left untreated in the aging population due to the misconception that it is a normal part of aging. This can lead to increased suicide rates, social issues if left untreated, and a lack of treatment options. Proper screening for mental illness during regular doctor's visits through questionnaires can help identify issues earlier and refer patients to specialists. Increased education is needed for both patients and practitioners regarding mental illness and treatment in the elderly.
Etiology biopsychosocial factors
The document discusses the etiology and factors that can contribute to mental illness. It identifies predisposing factors like genetics and physical trauma that increase susceptibility. Precipitating factors are events like stress that induce onset. Perpetuating factors prolong existing illness. Specifically, it examines biological factors like heredity and biochemical changes. Psychological factors include personality traits and life stresses. Physiological changes during life stages and social issues also influence mental health outcomes.
Bipolar disorder ebd
Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes shifts in mood and energy levels, ranging from periods of extremely high or happy mood (mania) to periods of very sad or hopeless mood (depression). These mood swings are more extreme than normal happiness or sadness and can impact sleep, thinking, and daily functioning. Symptoms include changes in emotion, sleep, activity, and behavior. Bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million Americans and often runs in families, though its exact causes are unknown. Treatment involves medication, psychotherapy, and other therapies to help manage mood symptoms.

Life course info (aging)
This document discusses several topics related to aging and cognition. It describes how cognition can decline in older age due to terminal decline near death or secondary aging caused by diseases like dementia, hypertension, and diabetes. Lifestyle habits can contribute to these diseases but changes to diet and exercise may help slow brain deterioration. The document also discusses ageism in research, different types of dementia like Alzheimer's, risk factors for Alzheimer's, and stages of Alzheimer's progression. Finally, it notes that some types of dementia are reversible and that older adults can still develop new cognitive abilities and gain wisdom later in life.

Bipolar disorder can present in children and adolescents with manic, hypomanic, or depressive episodes. It is a chronic and disabling condition associated with impaired functioning. Treatment involves medication, psychoeducation, and psychotherapy to stabilize mood symptoms, improve coping skills, and prevent recurrences. Lithium, anticonvulsants, and second-generation antipsychotics are commonly used but require careful monitoring due to side effect risks.
Depression in elderly
Depression is common among elderly individuals and can be caused by medical illnesses, bereavement, stressful life events, and cognitive impairment. Major depression affects 1-2% of healthy older adults and 12-16% of those in long-term care. Late-life depression is often underrecognized and undertreated. Screening tools can help diagnose depression according to DSM-IV or ICD-10 criteria, and treatment involves both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches aimed at the acute episode, preventing relapse, and long-term prophylaxis. Differential diagnosis considers medical and psychiatric conditions.

Dementia is a loss of mental skills that affects daily life and usually gets worse over time. It can be caused by neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease, vascular diseases, head injuries, strokes, infections, and certain genetic disorders. Dementia is diagnosed through medical history, exams, and lab tests and stages progress from mild cognitive impairment to moderate and severe dementia. Treatment involves medications to address symptoms, care to support daily living, and management of behaviors.

Dementia is an overall term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities severe enough to reduce daily life activities. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause and involves memory loss, language problems, and impaired thinking. Other dementias include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and frontotemporal dementia. Treatment involves cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, management of behavioral and psychological symptoms, and lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and cognitive stimulation. New disease-modifying therapies aim to target the underlying pathology of Alzheimer's disease.
Healthy Brain Aging
- Healthy brain aging is important due to the rising prevalence of age-related cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
- Brain aging is influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Engaging in heart-healthy habits, cognitive activities, and social interaction may help promote healthy brain aging.
- When discussing brain health with older patients, physicians should evaluate risk factors and encourage lifestyle changes like exercise, a healthy diet, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
