The most common worries for those who are growing old, or those who care for them, is the loss of cognitive function associated with the aging. Treatments are currently available that can provide symptomatic relief for some of the problems associated with dementia, but sadly no cure has yet been found.

Other well-known mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and psychosis may occur for the first time in older persons. The causes of the illnesses may be different to those in younger adults as may their treatments.
