IS IT A WASTE OF TIME TO GET MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS? (531 hits)

I hope this questions raised the hairs on the nape of your neck like it did mine!

There are some folks who believe that when people get old, there is no need to give them aggressive mental health treatment. Instead, these people say to just sort of keep them comofortable and let them go on into "senility."

What do you think?

Here is another interesting question, should you include your mental healthcare wishes in your Living Will?

Hmmm?

Let's see how we each weigh in by posting your comments below.

I think this is outrageous! When you are a senior citizen or approaching it, the picture looks different.

It really pisses me off when there is no respect for the very people, who when they were at their highest point, kept this country thriving, get treated like throwaways. I have an affinity for the elderly so I have some very strong opinions about how they deserve to be treated in their twilight years.

Please, don't get me started!!! LOL.

Blessings...
