Mental Health of the Elderly - multidimensional aspects Zaburzenia psychiczne wieku podeszłego jako zagadnienie wielomymiarowe

There are models which, integrating social determinants, outline the mental health/illness of the elderly. The number of homeless elderly people is growing, and they often suffer from mental illness. Assessment by a multidisciplinary team is indispensable, particularly at the onset of a psychiatric illness. What is needed is further empirical research, scientific surveys and studies on the subject of mental health of the elderly, focusing on mental health promotion, prevention, sustainable interventions, patient-centered services, and measuring options.
