Men over 75-years-old are at the highest risk of suicide. By far.Thanks for reading Practicing Mental Illness! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and access the archive. I’ve written about older men and mental health often, and for several publications. The hard fact is that the situation for this group is only getting worse.
All good points. I think we avoid older people because we don't want to acknowledge that we are going to be them, some day. We are not going to see as well, hear as well, remember as well, and be as agile. So we dismiss older people. We don't see what we have to gain, from their company.
