(13 News) - Mental health challenges can affect people at every stage of life, and asking for support is an important first step. On Tucson Now’s Mental Health Monday, sponsored by Pima Behavioral Health, the practice’s co-owners joined Tucson Now’s Devyn Shea to discuss the concerns older adults and veterans may face. The co-owners said older adults may experience anxiety or depression while navigating changes such as retirement, memory concerns or shifting family roles. One noted that some older adults struggle when family members take over decisions, leaving them feeling unheard or without control.For some veterans, opening up can be difficult because of a culture of pushing through challenges or a generational reluctance to seek mental health care, the guests said. They emphasized that depression and anxiety are not normal parts of aging and that building trust can help people feel comfortable talking about what they are experiencing.The co-owners also discussed the transition from military to civilian life, noting that some veterans may remain on guard or have difficulty relaxing. Seeking help earlier can make some concerns easier to treat and potentially spare people years of suffering, one guest said. They also encouraged people to listen when loved ones notice changes they may not see themselves.For someone unsure where to begin, a support group can offer a chance to connect with others who have shared experiences and may know about helpful resources. The guests encouraged people who are struggling to talk to someone and said family members should pay attention to consistent changes in behavior rather than assuming they are simply part of aging.</div></body>
