Stability and Change in Mental Health Profiles from Middle Adulthood to Very Old Age

CONCLUSIONS: Identifying MH profiles in old age enhances our understanding of how MH adapts with aging. This approach reveals the complexity of MH beyond traditional ill-being, underscoring the importance of well-being.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: • The majority of older adults maintain good MH, suggesting a need for a paradigm shift toward enhancing well-being rather than solely treating ill-being.• Effective MH interventions should integrate both well-being and ill-being assessments to offer understanding and support.PMID:38477335 | DOI:10.1080/07317115.2024.2329150
