Chronic Health Issues |
Although the rate of disability among older adults is dropping, half of all Americans live with at least one chronic health problem. For more than one third of Americans, chronic (long-lasting or recurring) illness takes the form of a brain disorder most often caused by stroke, head injury or degeneration of brain cells. Understanding the "what, when, why, and how" of your illness can help you manage your symptoms, make appropriate life adjustments and regain control of your life.

Depression |
Many people mistakenly believe that depression is normal for older people and that little can be done about it. Depression may be more common among older people, but it is not an inevitable part of aging. Depression is a serious medical disorder with biological causes that can be treated effectively in most people. Find out more about depression as we age and what can be done.
