The aging process can lead to various changes in an individual's mental health. Understanding the potential challenges that seniors face is crucial in addressing their unique needs effectively. Some of the common age-related mental health concerns include:

- Anxiety: Excessive worrying and fear that can interfere with a senior's ability to carry out daily tasks.
- Cognitive Decline: Age-related cognitive changes, such as memory loss and difficulty in decision-making, can impact mental well-being.
- Loneliness and Isolation: Social connections and activities play a vital role in maintaining mental health, and seniors may face increased isolation due to various factors.
