| Summary: | Between 2010 and 2030, the number of people in the United States who are over age 65 will grow from what is now 1 in 8 to 1 in 5. The mental health needs of these older individuals will grow during this period not simply because of this increase in numbers, but also because the baby-boom generation who will form this cohort has already shown relatively higher rates of mental disorders and are more likely to seek help than provious generations. |
