Your mental health matters, especially as you get older. That’s why JCHC provides Senior Life Solutions outpatient services designed to meet the unique needs of older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental challenges often associated with aging.
More than 20% of people over the age of 55 experience some type of mental health concern, yet more than half of those people receive no treatment. Studies show that over 50% of older adults believe it’s normal to get depressed as they age. It’s not! Feeling down every once in a while is a normal part of life, but if these feelings last weeks or months, you may be dealing with something more serious.
