Anxiety in Older Adults
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 developed a first of its kind national guidelines for anxiety in older adults to help support health, mental health, and social care providers with the assessment and treatment of anxiety.
