随着老年人口持续快速增长，预计到2050年将有21亿老年人，社会福利研究人员决心填补老年社会工作者的短缺和结构性滞后，以最好地为婴儿潮一代服务，他们预计需要不同于前几代人的服务。精神疾病影响着世界和美国20%以上的老年人。老年人的主要心理健康问题包括抑郁、焦虑、孤独和社会孤立。抑郁症被认为是这一人群中最常见的心理健康问题之一；然而，由于老年人将相关症状与年龄等其他原因联系起来，而不是尽可能将其与抑郁症联系起来，因此患病率可能被低估。和抑郁一样，焦虑症状经常被误认为是衰老的结果。由于焦虑经常伴随着其他疾病和老年带来的心理压力，提供者也很难诊断出这一人群的焦虑。因为孤独或社会孤立的存在可以在老年人中表现出抑郁和焦虑症状，所以很难将这两个问题分开。随着预计在未来几年内老年人口的增加，已经创建了测量工具来评估老年人的抑郁和焦虑。除了调整评估工具外，为老年人量身定制的干预措施对于确保治疗一致性至关重要，尽管药物治疗是首选的治疗选择。
As the older adult population continues to grow at a rapid rate, with an estimated 2.1 billion older adults in 2050, social welfare researchers are determined to fill the shortage of gerontological social workers and structural lag to best serve the baby boomers who are expected to need different services than previous generations. Mental illness impacts over 20% of older adults in the world and the United States. The major mental health issues in older adults include depression, anxiety, loneliness, and social isolation. Depression is considered one of the most common mental health issues among this population; however, the prevalence could be underestimated due to older adults linking relevant symptoms to other causes, such as old age, instead of as possible depression. Like depression, anxiety symptoms are often mistaken as results of aging. It is also difficult for providers to diagnose anxiety in this population due to anxiety frequently being coupled with other illnesses and the psychological stress that comes with old age. Because the presence of loneliness or social isolation can manifest depression and anxiety symptoms in older adults, it is also difficult to separate these two issues. With the anticipated increase of the older adult population within the next few years, measurement tools have been created to assess depression and anxiety specifically for older adults. In addition to adapting assessment tools, interventions tailored to older adults are essential to ensure treatment coherence, even though medications are the go-to treatment option.
