Wellbeing Wednesdays with Matty Willz: The Aging Population

Taking care of your mental health isn’t just a young person’s issue. About one in four older adults experience some mental issue, such as depression, anxiety, or dementia according to the World Health Organization. Additionally, people aged 85 and older have the highest suicide rate of any age group, making their mental health care even more important.

In today’s episode, Matty talks with Dr. Ann Pearman, Geropsychologist at MetroHealth, about the importance of mental health care for elderly individuals and how to know when you or a loved one should seek help.
