Emerging Issues in Mental Health and Aging

By Margaret Gatz

Between 2010 and 2030, the number of people in the United States who are over age 65 will grow from what is now 1 in 8 to 1 in 5. The mental health needs of these older individuals will grow during this period not simply because of this increase in numbers, but also because the baby-boom generation who will form this cohort has already shown relatively higher rates of mental disorders and are more likely to seek help than provious generations.
