Prioritizing Emotional Wellness: National Older Adult Mental Health Day

Introduction

May 10, 2025, marks National Older Adult Mental Health Day—an important reminder that emotional well-being doesn’t fade with age.

At Familiar Roads Home Healthcare, we believe mental health is vital to helping seniors live fully and independently.

Why Mental Health Awareness Matters in Older Adults

Depression affects nearly 7 million older Americans but often goes untreated.
Feelings of loss, isolation, or physical illness can significantly impact mental health.
Early recognition and intervention can prevent serious health declines.

Signs Families Should Watch For

Withdrawal from family or friends
Changes in appetite or sleep
Sadness, hopelessness, or increased irritability
Lack of interest in favorite activities

Conclusion

Mental health deserves just as much attention as physical health, especially as we age. Let’s honor National Older Adult Mental Health Day by taking care of the full person
