Anxiety & Depression in Older Adults - Deep Dive

This podcast takes a deep dive into our Information Tool: Anxiety & Depression in Older Adults. Feelings of anxiousness or nervousness are common in both adults and children. But when those feelings start to be overwhelming and affect your daily life, you could have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders in older adults are fairly common, affecting 10% to 20% of people. However, anxiety disorders often go undiagnosed. Anxiety is found more often than depression and cognitive disorders in older adults.  

You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/managing-emotions---anxiety-depression. The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
