As the global population ages, mental health service providers face a pressing concern: how to effectively support older adults experiencing cognitive decline.

These individuals often have unique requirements that are not addressed by traditional mental health care approaches designed for younger or broader demographics.

This gap not only jeopardizes the mental well-being of the elderly but also places additional stress on caregivers, family members, and healthcare systems already stretched thin.

Without tailored interventions and support systems, the quality of life for these individuals could deteriorate significantly, highlighting a critical area ripe for innovation.

The root cause preventing a solution is the paucity of customized mental health frameworks and professional expertise in handling cognitive decline-related mental health issues among the elderly.

Structural barriers include underfunding in geriatric mental health research and a shortage of specialized mental health practitioners trained in age-related cognitive conditions.
