Older people and Mental Health

Mental health affects people of all ages. Being worried, low, out of sorts, or just struggling to work up the energy to do things you used to enjoy aren’t just part and parcel of getting older – they’re important signs that you’re not feeling as well as you could be. There are lots of reasons why our moods might change. But it’s important to realise that if you’ve not been feeling yourself lately, there’s support available.
