As people age, they may experience certain life changes that could impact their mental health.

“Stressors in their life that have to do with physical health, maybe have to do with their housing and changes in where they’re living, maybe it’s facing the death of a loved one, that now they’re facing life by themselves. Older adults can also experience times of loneliness, times of feeling worthless because they’re not doing the same things that they were doing before,” explained Christy Buck with Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan.
