Spring 2019 edition: Focus on mental health in late life
As we approach late life, new mental health concerns may emerge: memory problems, Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, and higher risks of serious side effects from psychiatric medications. CAMH researchers are aiming to prevent late-life mental illnesses altogether and to find safer, more effective treatments when they do occur.
Preventing mental illness in late life
In this Q&A interview with CAMH`s leading experts in late-life mental health, we explore the issues that affect older Canadians and how CAMH researchers are addressing these concerns.
CAMH treatment for Alzheimer's agitation reaches more Canadians
This new way of treating agitation and aggression in people with Alzheimer’s disease is showing positive outcomes, and will be tested at seven sites across Canada.
Depression among older people may bring added challenges, including a greater risk of developing dementia. CAMH researchers are studying new treatment approaches.
We profile five high-impact research areas across CAMH that reflect our long-term vision to revolutionize the global understanding and treatment of mental illness and improve mental health.
A CAMH study explores the reasons behind the growing number of people involved in the criminal justice system who need treatment for mental illness — and provides insights to inform policy and clinical care.
Until December 2, all donations will be matched to help create a future where Canadians can get the help they need, when they need it—no matter who or where they are.
