Anxiety

Many older adults experience anxiety. However, anxiety is not a normal part of aging.  It is important that we recognize and treat anxiety in older adults.

Information for Older Adults & Families:

 

  1. We've created a one page resource sheet, Weed Out Worry, so you can start feeling better today

 

Information & Tools for Clinicians:

  1. Our project to develop Canadian Guidelines on anxiety in older adults is underway. These guidelines will provide healthcare providers, older adults and their caregivers with evidence-based best practices for the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of anxiety.
  2. Watch our 2023 ECHO Session on Late Life Anxiety Disorders, presented by Dr. Andrea Iaboni.

 

Healthcare providers: We would like your thoughts about making anxiety guidelines that work for you and your patients.  Please complete this 5-minute survey.
