I am on the advisory board of the Institute of Aging. One of us was mentioning today that she is on a mental health research committee and that there's very little mental health research related to aging. It is as if we were very interested in mental health in young people, but when people are older, suddenly all of that is not important.
I will take the example of Alzheimer's disease, which is very often accompanied by problems deemed "behavioural" at the very beginning, that is to say that people can have manifestations that are not only memory problems, but also behavioural problems. It can be aggressiveness, or someone who suddenly thinks that people are mean to him or her. It is very similar to mental health problems and it is what causes the most difficulty. People start to be aggressive, patients start to wander, to wake up at night, to say that their things were stolen. Those are the most disturbing things.
The aspects related to mental health are therefore very integrated in dementia problems and Alzheimer's disease problems. I don't think we can deal with one without dealing with the other.
