Abstract:
Aims and methodTo provide a picture of availability and equality of access to mental health services for older people prior to the Equality Act. In 2010, a questionnaire was sent to health commissioners in England, Scotland and Wales under a Freedom of Information request.ResultsOverall, 132 (76%) replied. Of 11 services, 7 were either unavailable or did not provide equality of access to older people in more than a third of commissioning areas. When provided by specialist older people's mental health, services were more often considered to ensure equality.Clinical implicationsIncreasing need resulting from an ageing population is unlikely to be met in the face of current inequality. Inequality on the basis of age is the result of government policy and not the existence of specialist services for older people. Single age-inclusive services may create indirect age discrimination. Availability alone is insufficient to demonstrate equality of access. Monitoring the effects of legislation must take this into account.

Abstract:
Objective: To compare the perceptions of aged care services, adult mental health services and mental health services for older people regarding aspects of mental health service delivery for older people in New South Wales, Australia. Method: The NSW Branch of the Faculty of Psychiatry of Old Age in association with the NSW Centre for Mental Health, sent a postal survey to all aged care services, adult mental health services and mental health services for older people in NSW. The survey canvassed issues ranging across service profiles, regional variations, availability of resources, processes of care, views on working relationships between services, difficulties and gaps experienced, and ways to improve co-ordination and service delivery. Clinical issues such as the management and practice of psychiatric disorders of old age, educational/training requirements and skill and experience in working with older people were explored. Results: An overall response rate of 86% was achieved, including 95% from aged care services (n = 58), 74% from adult mental health services (n = 62) and 90% from mental health services for older people (n = 20). Only 59% of aged care services and adult mental health services considered that their local mental health services for older people provided an adequate service; resource and budget limitations were portrayed as the main constraint. Mental health services for older people varied widely in structure, settings and activities undertaken. Access to mental health beds for older people was also variable, and alongside staffing levels was considered problematic. Lack of staff training and/or inexperience in psychogeriatrics posed a challenge for aged care services and adult mental health services. Conclusion: Relationships between aged care services, adult mental health services and mental health services for older people are affected by lack of access to psychogeriatric staff, resource limitations of mental health services for older people, and inadequate liaison and support between the service types. Joint case conferences, education, increased funding of mental health services for older people, and cross referrals were considered ways to address these issues.

Abstract:
This study examines the differences in mental health between older men and women. A cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted with a representative sample of 504 older adults aged 55 years and older. Mental health was measured by a revised Chinese version of the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Mental Component Summary (MCS) of a Chinese version of SF-36. Mental health differences between men and women were not identified, but gender was found to have an effect on mental health in the 54 to 64 age group, when being a female predicted a poorer status of mental health. The poorer financial status of women was the reason for the gender effect. Mental health predictors for men and women were also compared. The findings concluded that interventions to strengthen financial assistance for aging women were important for enhancing mental health. 這研究對五百零四名五十五歲或以上的長者進行電話調查。結果發現男、女長者精神健康差別在五十五至六十四歲的組別中顯示,較差的經濟狀況是影響女性精神健康的因素。比較男、女精神健康指標的結果顯示,經濟援助對強化女性精神健康的重要性。.

Abstract:
Older people comprise an increasingly significant proportion of the population of the UK and other developed countries. Most remain fit and able to make continuing contributions to their families and society, but they are at risks of periods of ill health and other stresses. Dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, is one of the major health problems of our times and particularly affects older people. Mental ill health, physical ill health and social difficulties are often intertwined, calling for close working between health and social services to provide appropriate help for patients and their carers.

Abstract:
SummaryAlthough the older adult population makes up only a small percentage of mentally disordered offenders, there is a clear need for forensic mental health services for older people. However, these services to date have developed ad hoc and with no coordination. In this article we discuss the evolution, current provision, future direction and therapeutic implications of such services. Although the epidemiology, criminology and clinical characteristics of older people are sufficiently different from those of younger people to warrant such service specificity, we suggest that the provision of care should be geared to services based on older people's multiple and complex needs, rather than on arbitrary age cut-offs.Learning Objectives• Be able to use an understanding of epidemiology, criminology and clinical characteristics of older people in the provision of forensic mental healthcare• Understand the forensic mental healthcare needs of older people• Be able to develop forensic mental health services for older people

Abstract:
Objective: To identify community perceptions on psychosocial and mental health problems of older people in postearthquake situation in Nepal. Method: A qualitative methodology was adopted to explore the experience and opinions of older people, social workers, school teachers, health workers, and nongovernmental organization workers on the psychosocial and mental health problems of older people in Nepal, using key informant interviews. Results: Major local vocabulary for older peoples’ psychosocial and mental health problems were “bichalan” (variation in mood and feeling), “ekohoro” (becoming single minded), “athmabiswasko kami” (low self-esteem), and “bina karan rune” (crying without any reason). The major causes attributed to older people’s problems were physical injury, disability, family conflict, and economic problems. Forgetfulness, tiredness, loss of concentration, restlessness, and isolation were observed in older people since the 2015 earthquake. Discussion: The findings suggest that earthquake had negative impact on older people’s psychosocial well-being; however, little support or treatment options have been made available to these individuals. The tailor-made community-based psychosocial and mental health programs for older people are needed.

Abstract:
Background:Older people with mental illness are likely to have increased difficulty in accessing health services due to social isolation and functional disability. It is well reported that people with mental illness are also more likely to have chronic and complex medical needs, be frail and be socially isolated. They are two times more likely to have respiratory disease, have cardiovascular disease, have metabolic syndrome, have diabetes, six times more likely to have dental problems and more likely to die earlier than the general population.Objective:The physical health program developed by the Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) community Older Peoples Mental Health Service (OPMHS) was part of a statewide project, facilitated by the Older People's Mental Health Policy Unit, Mental Health Branch, NSW Ministry of Health, where a variety of strategies were developed and implemented, to support the physical health of older mental health consumers using a biopsychosocial approach.Methods:NSLHD focused on providing OPMHS clinicians with the opportunity and resources to support older people with mental illness with their physical health and wellbeing, in particular Cardiometabolic Health, both screening and supporting interventions to address abnormalities and proactively support healthy lifestyle strategies. In each of the three community services, the program was led by a senior clinician who supported their team clinicians to carry out physical health assessments and planning.Results:The program commenced in July 2020, with the percentage of consumers of OPMHS who had regular metabolic monitoring completed, increasing from less than 10% to over 75%. Proactive person centred consideration and discussion including aspects of the consumers physical health and socialisation opportunities took place between clinicians, consumers and carers whilst their reviewing care in the community setting.Conclusion:The improvements have been sustained through a variety of strategies, in particular, capacity building within the multidisciplinary teams and the provision of the necessary resources 2023 IPA International Congress_Lisbon, Portugal Anne Hoolahan to carry out physical health monitoring and health promotion activities.

Abstract:
The exclusion of services for older people from the Mental Health National Service Framework and the delays in publication of the National Service Framework for the elderly have caused many old age psychiatrists to be concerned that, as in many other areas of health service planning and provision, the needs of older people are not being adequately addressed by Government and health service planners. The recent Audit Commission Report, entitled Forget Me Not: Mental Health Services for Older People†, gives us much encouragement that the needs of older adults have not been forgotten. Its recent publication should provide an authoritative focus, which will help old age psychiatrists, their multi-disciplinary and management colleagues and commissioners of services to push forward improvements in services for older people with mental illnesses.

(www.EAAD.net) The implementation and uptake of digital tools for self management or psychotherapy for people suffering from depression or other mental disorders has gained momentum during the Covid-19 pandemia. While studies using waiting list or treatment as usual control groups are of limited value, meta-analyses of RCTs with face-to-face psychotherapy as control condition have found a comparable antidepressant effect, especially when the interventions were provided together with professional guidance. The iFightDepression-tool offered by the European Alliance against Depression (EAAD) is available in 10 different languages and is broadly used in several European countries.

Abstract:
LGBT is an acronym used to describe people from diverse sexual orientation or gender identity, people that are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. LGBT people do not constitute a single group nor does each individual “group” constitute a homogeneous unity. However, as higher rates of depression and/or anxiety have been observed in older LGBT people, compared to their heterosexual counterparts (Guasp, 2011) there is a need to raise the profile of mental health issues amongst these groups. The additional letter I is also often included in the acronym LGBTI as intersex people are often included as another gender diverse group. However, there is very little research that includes intersex people and none on older intersex people's mental health so this editorial is restricted to consideration of older LGBT people.

This study aims to assess mental health status among older people and its determinants in rural areas. It is a cross-sectional study design and involves 412 respondents from 9 villages in the district of Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia. The data was analyzed by using a logistic regression model. The findings showed that older people with a large number of family members were four times more likely to have a mental health problem than those with a small number. Older people with a history of chronic disease had a threefold greater risk of experiencing mental health problems than older people without chronic disease. Three times as many elderly people with middle economic status reported having mental health issues. Older people with lower education have fewer mental health problems compared to older people who graduated from higher education levels. Health check-up was discovered to influence mental health problems, with older people who did checkups even if irregularly having fewer mental health problems than older people who never did. The study concludes that family size, chronic disease history, economic condition, education, and health check-up are determinants of mental health problems in rural Indonesia.
