ST. LOUIS, Missouri. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Anxiety in seniors is a serious mental health condition that can have a significant impact on their quality of life. Severe anxiety can be debilitating, and it impacts up to 20 percent of people over 65. It is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. This is because many people mistake the symptoms of anxiety in older adults as a normal part of aging. However, anxiety is a treatable condition. Better screening may be the first step to helping those in need.
