Hi all,

  

As you may be aware, Seniors are one of the groups badly treated in our mental health (Mental illness) system. I read recently that 80% of seniors in nursing homes are on antidepressants. (Probably they are depressed because they are in Nursing homes.... At least that's what my professor said last night , and I don't disagree)   Do you know of any constituency that is treating seniors better? And has a policy about it....  I am looking for a policy document about maintaining seniors mental health. I haven't yet found any such document in Canada.   Greta
