Abstract
The purpose of this presentation will be to raise awareness about increasing numbers of individuals who are aging with serious, chronic mental health disorders as well as those who will develop neurocognitive disorders and discuss the implications for family caregivers, healthcare providers, and senior support services. Approximately 20% of all adults are diagnosed with a mental illness in their lifetime and 1:25 have a severe chronic disorder (NAMI, 2020). The population over 60 years between 2015-2050 is predicted to increase from 900 million to 2 billion (WHO, 2020). Twenty percent of 2 billion individuals with a very unique set of needs.The audience will learn the American Psychiatric Association criteria for Depression, Schizophrenia, Dementia, and Alcohol Use Disorder and planning for meeting care needs for those over 60 with the goal of supporting function.
