Finding Calm: Empowering Seniors Through Anxiety & Depression Management
Novaq provides a compassionate, AI-powered companion and a supportive family network to navigate the complexities of anxiety and depression in later life.
According to the CDC, approximately 1-5% of older adults living in the community experience major depression, a figure that rises to 11.5% for hospitalized older patients. Anxiety disorders affect between 10-20% of older adults, making them one of the most common mental health problems in this age group, often co-occurring with depression.
The Caregiving Challenge
For seniors, recognizing and addressing anxiety and depression can be challenging due to stigma, difficulty expressing feelings, or symptoms being mistaken for normal aging. Families often struggle to identify subtle changes or provide consistent support without feeling overwhelmed, making proactive intervention difficult.
