Suffering in Silence: Older Adults Need to Speak Up About Their Mental Health
It’s not unusual for older adults to struggle with mental health issues. The National Council on Aging says 20% of people 55 and older suffer from some kind of mental health concern. After a lifetime of caring for families, raising children, and serving their communities, many seniors put their own needs last, including their mental health. This can mean suffering in silence, sometimes for years.

In the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, some people are able to keep driving. But as memory and decision-making skills get worse, at some point, it will no longer be safe to be behind the wheel. It’s important to start thinking about when a person should give up driving. With careful planning, you will have time to prepare and explore other transportation options.

A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementia can be a frightening experience. Masking the symptoms is natural, but it may give the person a false sense of security and hinder care partners from providing needed support and safety. Learn how to recognize and react to masking.

There is a mental phenomenon called “emotional memory.” It is the ability to recall events and experiences that are linked to the emotions associated with them.

Dementia doesn’t change what people think about, but it does change the way people think. Dementia doesn’t necessarily change the person’s interests, but changes the way they express their interests.

Sadly, it can be easy to write off Alzheimer’s and dementia patients as having little potential, relegated to a life of sitting around and occasionally being entertained. South Mountain Memory Care, a memory care community serving Allentown and the surrounding Lehigh Valley, PA, knows that such a characterization is far from true. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients often can learn new skills and information for a meaningful quality of life. Dementia does not mean that the person can no longer take part in favorite activities or learn new things.
