About 2 million people in the U.S. over the age of 65 have a
diagnosis of depression. At least 4 million people have some form
of dementia. The highest rate of suicide is in this group. There
are millions of elderly persons with other mental health problems
that are affecting families, friends and society in general. What
do these numbers mean? They demonstrate the widespread nature of
these conditions which are seen on a daily basis. These are the
confused, forgetful, wandering, combative, depressed, withdrawn or
socially inappropriate elderly, who impact all of us. These people
can be helped. We must not assume these problems are a normal part
of the aging process. Elder Interventions is a step-by-step
handbook for families, friends and caregivers who are dealing with
these issues on a daily basis. This book leads the reader through
the process of identifying and evaluating these
emotional/behavioral problems, and then developing concrete plans
to treat them. This text provides advice on topics ranging from
taking car keys away from a dangerous driver to preventing an old
person from wandering. It is rich with clinical stories that both
explain technique and inspire optimism. An essential guide for any
family, Elder Interventions is sure to educate and motivate all who
care for the elderly.
