Anxiety is not a normal part of aging and misconceptions about anxiety in older adults have led to it being underrecognized and undertreated. It is a treatable mental health condition and there are many evidence-based interventions that can be helpful. CCSMH is developing a first of its kind, national guidelines for anxiety in older adults to help support health, mental health, and social care providers with assessment and treatment.
