Chronic Mental Problems

Chronic Mental Problems
According to the World Health Organization, over 15 percent of adults over the age of 60 suffer from a mental disorder. A common mental disorder among seniors is depression, occurring in seven percent of the elderly population. Unfortunately, this mental disorder is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.

It is hard to talk about a middle ground for something that is a fundamental right.

Chronic Mental Issues

Older adults account for over 18 percent of suicides deaths in the United States. Because depression can be a side effect of chronic health conditions, managing those conditions help. Additionally, promoting a lifestyle of healthy living such as betterment of living conditions and social support from family, friends or support groups can help treat depression.

To Emma and the team who looked after J so professionally. I can’t thank you enough. Sometimes words just aren’t enough to share our thoughts or show our love and sometimes words get in the way of what we really want to say but from the heart and just for you these words of love and gratitude, for all the times you’ve been there, and shown just how much you care mean more to me than you could know …and I just had to tell you so!

Overall Experience 5 out of 5.
We only had the carer for one night shift as my father-in-law sadly passed away that first night. We as a family had cared for him exactly one week from coming home from hospital on the end of life, his wish was to die at home. LAM Care came out to see us at 15.00 hours and care was in place for 19.00 hours the same day, the Caregiver who came that night was such a professional, caring person who put us all at ease and we felt safe leaving our father-in-law in his care. Please pass on to the Caregiver we are so grateful for what he did for us that night.
Thank you again.

Thank you all so much, we are so lucky to have you guys on board, think it’s the start of something great and such a relief to know she is been well looked after. Thanks a million. Angela

We have had LAM Carers for the past six months. We have been very pleased with the care they have given. Very professional and caring. We have nothing but admiration for all the carers who came seven days a week.
