Mental Disorders and Aging Impact of Problem: 4 Facts to Guide Public Policy Examples of Model Programs Vision and Values for Improving Services Suggested Directions
Slide 3-

Mental Disorders of Aging: 4 Facts To Guide Public Policy 1) Dramatic recent and projected growth 2) Major direct and indirect impact on health outcomes, service use and costs 3) We know treatment works, but effective services are not reaching those in need 4) An alarming under-investment in knowledge dissemination, service development, and research to meet future need

Impact of the Problem
Slide 5-

Projected Growth In Older Adults With Mental Illness Population aged 65 and older will increase from 20 million in 1970 to 69.4 million in 2030. Older adults with mental illness will increase from 4 million in 1970 to 15 million in 2030. (Jeste, et al., 1999; www.census.gov)

Slide 7-

Estimated Prevalence of Major Psychiatric Disorders by Age Group Jeste, Alexopoulus, Bartels, et al., 1999
Slide 8-

Prevalence of Mental Disorders Age 65+ Psychiatric 16.3% Dementia 10% Mental disorders: 26.3%(including dementia) Psychiatric disorders 19.8% based on prevalence of 30-40% of dementia complicated by depression, psychosis, or agitation. Jeste, et al., 1999
Slide 9-

Mental Disorders in Older Adults: The Silent Epidemic Alzheimer’s and other memory disorders (30-40% complicated by depression or psychosis) Depression, anxiety disorders, severe mental illness, alcohol abuse Suicide: highest rate: age 75+
Slide 10-

Psychiatric Illness in Older Persons as a Public Health Problem: Impact on Health Outcomes
Slide 11-

Worse outcomes Hip fractures Myocardial infarction Cancer (Mossey 1990; Penninx et al. 2001; Evans 1999) Increased mortality rates Myocardial Infarction (Frasure-Smith 1993, 1995) Long term Care Residents (Katz 1989, Rovner 1991, Parmelee 1992; Ashby1991; Shah 1993, Samuels 1997) Depression Associated with Worse Health Outcomes
Slide 12-

Depression in Cancer Increased Hospitalization Poorer physical function Poorer quality life Worse pain control (Evans 1999)
Slide 13-

Depression in Older Adults and Health Care Costs Unutzer, et al., 1997; JAMA
Slide 14-

Suicide in Older Adults 65+: highest suicide rate of any age group 85+: 2X the national average (CDC 1999) Peak suicide rates: Suicide rate goes up continuously for men Peaks at midlife for women, then declines 1/3 of older men saw their primary care physician in the week before completing suicide; 70% within the prior month
Slide 15-

Suicide Rate by Age Per 100,000 Older people: 12.7% of 1999 population, but 18.8% of suicides. (Hoyert, 1999)
Slide 16-

Summary of Findings Depression is common in medical disorders among older patients Associated with worse health outcomes Greater use and costs of medications Greater use of health services medical outpatient visits, emergency visits, and hospitalizations
Slide 17-

Older Adults with Severe Mental Illness
Slide 18-

Monthly Per Person Costs by Age: Severe Mental Illness
Slide 19-

New Hampshire Total Monthly Costs Per Person Over Age 65 $0 $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,000 $2,500 $3,000 $3,500 $4,000 Schizophrenia Alzheimer's Dementia Cerebrovascular Depression Heart Failure COPD Cardiac Dysrhymias Osteoarthrosis Diabetes Hypertension Medicaid Medicare
Slide 20-

Severe Mental Illness in Older Adults Rapid growth projected (Jeste, et al., 1999) Lack of community living skills associated with nursing home and high cost services (Bartels et al., 1997, 1999) Lack of Rehabilitative Interventions High Medical Comorbidity (Vieweg, 1995;Goldman, 1999) Poor Health Care and Increased Mortality (Druss, 2001)
Slide 21-

Falling Through the Cracks Community Mental Health Services Under-serve older persons Lack staff trained to address medical needs Often lack age-appropriate services Principal Providers: Primary Care and Long-term Care Medicare No general outpatient prescription drug coverage & lack of mental health parity
Slide 22-

Unmet Need for Community Treatment Less than 3% of older adults receive outpatient mental health treatment by specialty mental health providers (Olfson et al, 1996). Only 1/3 of older persons who live in the community and who need mental health services receive them (Shapiro et al, 1986).
Slide 23-

Nursing Homes: The Primary Provider of Institution-Based Care for Older Persons with Mental Disorders 65-80% of Nursing Home Residents-A Diagnosable Mental Disorder Among the Most Common Disorders Dementia Depression Anxiety Disorders and Psychotic Disorders (Burns & Taube, 1990, 1991, Rovner et al., 1990)
Slide 24-

Unmet Need for Mental Health Services in Nursing Homes Over one month: 4.5% of mentally ill nursing home residents received mental health services (Burns et al., 1993) Over one year: 19% in need of mental health services receive them. Least likely: Oldest and most physically impaired (Shea et al., Smyer et al., 1994)
Slide 25-

Fragmentation of the Service Delivery System for Older Persons Primary care Specialty mental health Aging network services Home care Nursing Homes Assisted Living Family caregivers“The advantages of a decisive shift away from mental hospitals and nursing homes to treatment in community-based settings today are in jeopardy of being undermined by fragmentation and insufficient availability of services.” (Admin. on Aging, 2000)
Slide 26-

Poor Quality of Care for Older Persons with Mental Disorders Increased risk for inappropriate medication treatment (Bartels, et al., 1997, 2002) > 1 in 5 older persons given an inappropriate prescription (Zhan, 2001) Less likely to be treated with psychotherapy (Bartels, et al., 1997) Lower quality of general health care and associated increased mortality (Druss, 2001)
Slide 27-

Inadequate Workforce of Trained Geriatric Mental Health Providers Current Workforce: 2,425 Geriatric Psychiatrists 200-700 Geriatric Psychologists Estimated Current Need: 5,000 + of each specialty Severe Nursing and Allied Health Care Provider Shortage
Slide 28-

The Public Health Crisis Dramatic growth in aging population Major direct and indirect impact on health service use and costs Under-investment in Knowledge Dissemination, Service Development, & Research to Meet the Future Need
Slide 29-

An Underinvestment in the Service Infrastructure for Older Adults Mental Health Services
Slide 30-

Medicare Expenditures for Mental Health Services Total 1998 Medicare Health care Expenditures: 211.4 Billion Total Mental Health Expenditures: 1.2 Billion (0.57%) Outpatient Mental Health Expenditures: 718 Million (0.34%) CMS, 2001
Slide 31-

An Underinvestment in the Research Infrastructure Devoted to Mental Health and Aging
Slide 32-

Expenditures on NIMH Newly Funded Grants 8% 7% 8% 8% 9% 6% NIMH, 2001
Slide 33-

Projected Prevalence & Research Funding % of Total Expenditures on Aging NIMH Grants Health Care Expenditures: Age 65+ as Proportion of Total Proportion of Population: Age 65+ Psychiatric Disorders: Ratio: age 65+/age 18-64 (1990: 6.1 / 21.1 Million) (2030 : 15.2 / 36.5 Million)
Slide 34-

Recognition of the problem We know treatment works…….. But effective treatments are not getting to those in need
Slide 35-

We Are Failing to Provide Effective Treatments and Services to Those in Need System Barriers: Fragmentation: A Need for Integrated Mental Health Services in Primary and Long-term Care Training Barriers: The Limits of Traditional Educational Approaches in Changing Provider Behavior and Ageism Financial Barriers: Including a Mismatch Between Covered Services and a Changing System of Long-term and Community-based Care Consumer Barriers: Stigma and education
Slide 36-

What Can Be Done to Improve Access and the Quality of Care?Examples of Promising Models

Slide 43-

Peer Support and Faith-based Services Peer support groups for older persons with losses improve mental health outcomes (Lieberman & Videka-Sherman 1986) Peer support groups may be more acceptable to older persons and allow participants to be recipients and providers of assistance (Schneider & Kropf, 1992)
Slide 44-

“The capacity of an individual with mental or behavioral problems to respond to mental health interventions knows no end-point in the life cycle. Even serious mental disorders in later life can respond to clinical interventions and rehabilitation strategies aimed at preventing excess disability in affected individuals.” C Everett Koop, Surgeon General’s Workshop Health Promotion and Aging, 1988
