631: Mental Health in Later Life with Dr. Helen Lavretsky
Manage episode 431569968 series 2828290
According to the WHO at least 14 percent of people over 60 have a mental health disorder with depression and anxiety at the top of the list. Loneliness, isolation, chronic pain, and diminished health are contributing causes, and unfortunately, many suffer in silence. My guest on this week’s podcast has dedicated her career to geriatric psychiatry and shares her insights into finding peace and joy in later life.
Listen and learn:
- What happens to the aging brain
- Potential problems with polypharmacology
- Why mental health medications lose efficacy
