Older Adults

• Age UK - Being worried, low or out of sorts aren't just part and parcel of geting older - they're important signs that you're not feeling as well as you should be. Our mental health affects how we think and feel, and how we cope with life's ups and downs. As we move through different stages of life and our circumstances change, our mental health can change too.
