Suffering in Silence: Older Adults Need to Speak Up About Their Mental Health
It’s not unusual for older adults to struggle with mental health issues. The National Council on Aging says 20% of people 55 and older suffer from some kind of mental health concern. After a lifetime of caring for families, raising children, and serving their communities, many seniors put their own needs last, including their mental health. This can mean suffering in silence, sometimes for years.

But as memory and decision-making skills get worse, at some point, it will no longer be safe to be behind the wheel. It’s important to start thinking about when a person should give up driving. With careful planning, you will have time to prepare and explore other transportation options.
