1 Our Senior Clients Clinical Issues Treatment Implications Interventions Presented by Dr. Christine A. Cauffield, CEO, LSF Health Systems Learning Objectives Identify key characteristics of Major Depressive Disorder Recognize behavioral characteristics of Dementia Learn referral sources necessary to provide appropriate evaluation for both disorders Identify key parts of the brain responsible for various clinical behavioral presentations Who are Older Adults? According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 12.4 percent of all Americans are age 65 or older. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has projected that by 2030, the number of older adult Americans will double to 70 million people, or one in every five Americans. In 1940, it was expected that the average 65-yearold might live an additional 12½ years; today, it is anticipated that 65-year-olds will live an additional 17½ years. 1

2 Mental Health and Aging Key Issues: Depression Suicide Cognitive Impairment Substance Use and Misuse Grief Mental Health and Aging Key Topics: Cohort Characteristics Clinical Implications Interventions Cohort Characteristics 8 th Grade Education Low Divorce Rate Shame Domestic Violence/Circle of Violence Elder Abuse Males age 60 and over = neglect/passive aggressive abuse Long Term Marriage Nursing Homes - Shame Psychiatric Help Shame to family 2

3 Depression More than 5 million of the 34 million elders age 65 and older suffer from some form of depression. According to the American Psychological Association, an estimated 20 percent of older adults within the community suffer from depression while approximately 50 percent of nursing home residents suffer from depression. They can also suffer from anxiety disorders, which tend to go undiagnosed as their physical illnesses mask or distract attention from the underlying or co-occurring psychiatric condition Depression In a study conducted by the AHCPR, 16% of older adults surveyed displayed one or more tendencies for depression Primary care physicians (PCPs) miss diagnosing depression in half of older adult patients they see PCPs are 2.5 times more likely to diagnose depression in women patients over 65 than males Source: Agency for Health Care Policy and Research Depression Seniors with depression have a higher risk of developing other physical illnesses. Chronically depressed seniors have an 88% higher risk of contracting cancer than do seniors who are not depressed. Many seniors simply do not know about the illness of depression or that treatment is available. 3

4 Suicide Suicide rates increase with age and are highest among elders age 65 and older. Men accounted for 85% of suicides among people age 65 and older in From , the largest relative increase occurred among those years of age. The rate for men in this group increased 17%. Suicide rates among older adults are highest among those who are divorced or widowed Source: Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Suicide Caucasian men over the age of 85 are at the greatest risk of all age-gender-race groups. Contrary to popular belief, only a small percentage (2-4%) of suicide victims have been diagnosed with a terminal illness at the time of their death. 66% - 90% of elderly suicides have at least one psychiatric diagnosis. Older persons are less likely to reach out by calling a crisis line than their younger counterparts. Suicide Approximately 75% of older adult suicide victims visited their primary care physician in the month prior to committing suicide. Twenty percent of these individuals reported visiting their physician within 24 hours of committing suicide. Older persons tend to make fewer attempts per completed suicide and use highly lethal methods. Seventy-one percent of older adults who committed suicide in 1998 used a firearm; 11 percent overdosed on liquids, pills, or gas; and 11 percent suffocated themselves. Source: National Strategy for Suicide Prevention 4

5 Cognitive Impairment Symptoms of cognitive impairment: Memory loss Language disturbance Decline in judgment and reasoning Personality change Cognitive Impairment Cognitive impairment is a risk factor and precursor for Dementia and Alzheimer s Disease Approximately 4 million Americans have Alzheimer s and will live an average of 8 years up to 20 years from the onset of symptoms Cognitive Impairment One in 10 persons over 65 and nearly half of those over 85 have Alzheimer s or other forms of Dementia. More than 7 out of 10 people with Alzheimer s disease live at home. Almost 75% of home care is provided by family and friends 5
