| Core Tip |
The current understanding of geriatric mental health recognizes well-being as the outcome of multiple intersecting social determinants economic, cultural, familial, and systemic factors rather than a single cause. Recognizing the lived experiences of marginalized groups, such as Asian American older adults, draws attention to disparities in prevalence, symptomatology, and access to mental health care. Focusing on stigma, language barriers, and health literacy highlights tangible obstacles to seeking help and adhering to care, which are frequently underemphasized in clinical conversations. |
