Mental Health and the Elderly
Instructor: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes PhD, LPC-MHSP, LMHC
Summary
Normal aging is a gradual process that ushers in some physical decline, such as decreased sensory abilities (e.g., vision and hearing) and decreased pulmonary and immune function
Decline in cognitive capacity with aging is partly preventable
Older persons display flexibility in behavior and attitudes and the ability to grow intellectually and emotionally
Losses with aging include Social status, self-esteem, physical capacities, death of friends and loved ones
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health disorders in older adults
There are many causes of cognitive impairment besides Alzheimers.
Mild cognitive impairment is not unusual and generally does not meet accepted criteria for Alzheimers Schizophrenia in Late Life
Focus on the person's strengths and how they can remain as independent as possible
Encourage quality sleep, daily routines and proper nutrition
Cognitive behavioral and problem solving therapies have both been found to be effective.
Older persons clear medication from their system more slowly and are more susceptible to side effects of many medications.
Day treatment/drop in centers are available throughout the country for respite care as well as to facilitate interaction and allow caregivers to work
Caregivers often have their own emotional, financial and social needs that need to be addressed when caring for a parent or spouse.

I'm a graduate student currently completing my internship to receive my masters in mental health counseling. My very first client is an elderly woman, adoptee. I am worried that because I don't have much experience in the field I don't have much to offer. I am reading and watching videos to help me work with my client but I would appreciate some more input.
I know a sheltered old man name Robert A. Please if you're retired don't be like him.
1. Super frugile
2. Broken, worn out driveway. Has $ to get it fixed but too cheap.
3. Sheltered, no friends no social life!
4. Wife goes out while he stays home
5. Smoke 🚬 🚭
6. Drinks too much Coke
7. Don't turn on da air con even when the weather is over 90°...he has money and a retirement plan
8. Worships demonic idols/demons posted outside his house
9. Superstitious. Never exits nor enter the front door of his house.
10. Wasting precious water on grasses n plants 🪴. Illegal watering. 3-4 times a week! Only limit to 2x per week
11. No vacations, no stay-cation.
12. Doesn't know how 2 cook at all. His wife have been shopping 🛍 & cooking for him daily. Don't dine out.
13. Rarely exercises if u don't count watering plants

Identifying a disorder obvious and towards the end there were some great solution and correlations ....moreover many medication can cause problems..remember unknown interactions as well as plant and sugar induced inflammations that perpetuate disease and pain especially autoimmune as well as metabolic...understand nutririon,genetics,breathing,learning,exercise as not pushed but pills are....toxicity by heavy metals never addressed
I appreciate you watching
Thanks for sharing
Remove the causes of stress and anxiety and the "anxiety disorder" is greatly reduced or eliminated.
Thanks for watching and for sharing! Have a great day!
Many good points
Thanks from Tappen BC Canada
