A new survey among Americans 65 and older explores attitudes toward and experiences with mental health issues. The survey included an oversample of older adults who have had a mental health diagnosis or have had recent feelings of depression or anxiety. Results suggest that many older adults may not be receiving evidence-based standards of care, such as being informed about the side effects of treatment and receiving timely follow-up care. Despite receiving care for depression or anxiety, many older adults are still struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety. The John A. Hartford Foundation commissioned Lake Research Partners to conduct a survey among n=1,318 adults 65 and older nationwide from November 16 through 26, 2012. The margin of error is + 3.9 percentage points. More details about the methodology are at the end of this memo.
