Stronger Minds, Healthier Lives: A Spotlight on Mental Health
By Dr. Heidi Schwarzwald, MD, MPH on 5/7/25 10:00 AM
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an observance dedicated to sharing the importance
of mental health, overcoming stigma, and highlighting available support. At Signify Health, we
recognize the importance of mental health and the impact it can have on an individual’s overall
health and well-being. Our network of clinicians help people gain a more comprehensive view of
their health by conducting In-Home Health Evaluations (IHEs). During an IHE, clinicians identify
chronic conditions, close gaps in care, and address social determinants of health, making it
possible for health plan members to get connected to the right care for their unique needs.
As a physician dedicated to helping people on their path to better health, I have seen firsthand
the profound impact that mental health can have on overall well-being. Unfortunately, mental
health is still too often overlooked, but it’s a critical part of health that shouldn’t be ignored,
especially for older adults.
As we age, our mental health and well-being can be affected by many life changes such as
coping with a serious illness, experiencing social isolation or losing a loved one. In fact,
according to the National Council on Aging, nearly 25 percent of adults 65 and older are living
with a mental health condition such as anxiety or depression.
Having a plan in place to support mental health often leads to better physical health outcomes,
improved cognitive function and remaining independent longer1 . However, while mental health
conditions can be managed, many older adults go undiagnosed and untreated2.
Promoting Mental Health Awareness for Older Adults
Some common mental health concerns among older adults include:
