Description
One of the greatest challenges facing mental health care is the need for competent assessment and treatment of the growing numbers of older adults, particularly “minority” elders. The aging of the population and the increasing diversity of older adults, coupled with increasing limited healthcare resources, has resulted in the need for appropriate research as well as effective mental health services. This chapter provides an overview of the mental disorders in diverse older adults, as well as issues relevant to research and clinical issues. As with any population, it is important to remember that there is often as much diversity within groups as between groups, whether on the grounds of age, gender, social class, or culture. Effective treatment must address not only mental disorders, but also the factors influencing differences across ethnically and culturally diverse groups of older adults.
