- The global aging population is increasing, leading to a higher burden of mental health issues in older adults, which require labor-intensive, multidisciplinary care that includes addressing age-related stigma.
- The concept of positive psychiatry emphasizes resilience, wisdom, and prosocial behaviors to combat stigma and enhance mental health, advocating for a broader view of geriatric mental health that includes both health and illness.
- To improve mental health care for older adults, the focus should be on comprehensive assessments, individualized treatments, and supporting caregivers, along with advancing research on treatment responses and developing safer, more effective medications while promoting positive aging to challenge ageism.]
