We are witnessing a significant demographic shift that could reshape global health care systems. By 2025, individuals aged 55+ will represent over 25% of the global population with schizophrenia. Did you know? 🌎 ✅ Schizophrenia ranks 3rd in disability-adjusted life-years among those aged 60+ with mental and substance-use disorders. ✅ The health care costs for older adults with schizophrenia are notably higher compared to other medical and psychiatric conditions. This emerging crisis calls for urgent attention and innovative solutions to ensure better care and support for our aging population. Check out NAMI’s Schizophrenia and Psychosis Lexicon Guide which merges professional insights with lived experiences to recommend language that conveys respect, understanding, and support. Essential for anyone communicating about schizophrenia, this guide is a step towards more effective and empathetic conversations. Let's work together to address these challenges and improve the quality of life for older adults living with schizophrenia. #Healthcare #MentalHealth #AgingPopulation #Schizophrenia #GlobalHealth #Innovation #NationalSchizophreniaAwarenessDay https://lnkd.in/gAu3eH4 https://lnkd.in/gXs4JVXC

Sizzling temperatures don’t just make us feel sluggish: According to researchers, extreme heat can affect the mind and make us feel irritable, impulsive, and have trouble concentrating. The American Psychological Association reports “The impacts can put already-vulnerable people in crisis during heat waves but may also lead to general mental health impacts and increased friction within society.” Young people are particularly at risk, given the potential impact of heat-related mental health effects on developing brains. The study does offer some good news: psychological research on heat, mental health, and violence is now reaching climate change journals. In response, local governments’ heat mitigation efforts include financial assistance program for low-income residents, incentives and rebates for energy savings, retrofitting and weatherizing. In addition, cities are supporting light-colored roofs made with materials that reflect instead of absorb heat, the construction of cool surfaces, such as roads coated with heat-reflecting materials, and increasing the tree canopy. #mentalhealth #healthcare #wellness #climatechange Read more here. https://lnkd.in/e7J_MEzB

In a world which asks us to monitor our productivity and progress both in and out of the office – from calories ingested, steps taken, songs played, or workouts done – the idea of dolce far niente sounds sweeter than ever. Gabe Hiatt says there is an art to doing nothing “No one would argue that a desk job is hard on the body. But your brain is another story. When your mental RPMs are close to the redline, you need to get away, ideally to a place where very few decisions are required. That’s why I practice the do-nothing vacation.” See here for suggestions on how to embrace a mental reset. https://lnkd.in/gkpNTZ9y

Summer travel planning took on a whole new level of meaning for Francesca Mari: To bring back life to her 72 year-old father’s fading memory. “When I was growing up, my dad, who has left the country only a few times, told me about the trip to Europe he took with his parents when he was 14, in 1966. …As an adult, I spent years telling him that he and I should repeat the trip together — or at least a short version in which we went to Switzerland and Italy, Lugano and Naples, so he could show me where his family was from." "But now that his Alzheimer’s was progressing, that proposal had taken on new significance. Revisiting the past would, I hoped, help him live better in the present.” Read more here. https://lnkd.in/dg4eA8y3 #geropsychology #mentalhealth #dementia #memorycare #healthcare #geriatrics

Leaving an academic legacy for older adult care, the Biden administration has awarded $206M to geriatrics clinician training programs. Called the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program, the funds will reach 42 different universities and provider organizations across the country. The payments range from about $2.9 million to $5 million between the different educational groups. With this, programs training primary care physicians, nurse practitioners and other clinicians will be able to integrate geriatrics training—particularly related to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias—into primary care.

Alzheimer’s drugs: Much ado about modest improvement? The geriatric medical community is abuzz with comment and expectations on the recent approval of the second #Alzheimer’s treatment drug, #Kisunla, from manufacturer Eli Lilly and Company. While #Medicare is expected to provide coverage for the drug, CMS will require physicians to collect data about how well the drugs perform in the real world, opening the door for clinicians to carry out more cognitive assessments for monitoring both the condition and the effectiveness of the new drug.

Attention weekend warriors: Can regular workouts keep dementia at bay? A new study in Alzheimer’s & Dementia reveals that seniors who engage in vigorous physical activity (VPA) just once a week can significantly reduce their risk of cognitive decline. Analyzing over 7,600 adults aged 50+ with high-risk hypertension, researchers found a 19% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment and a 20% lower risk of probable dementia in those who did VPA weekly. Lead author Richard Kazibwe, MD, MS, MD, from Wake Forest University, notes, “Exercise offers many benefits, including lowering blood pressure and potentially delaying cognitive decline.” The benefits were even more pronounced for participants under 75 and Black participants.
