Older Adults’ Attitudes on Mental Health Care
February 26, 2022

Respondents discussed COVID-19 conditions and mental health benefits.
A survey highlighted the perspectives of older adults on mental health care before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey, conducted by eHealth, included responses from 3869 Medicare-eligible adults aged 65 and older, and aimed to identify the respondents’ thoughts on the importance of mental health care, whether they have received mental health services, and their feelings about their mental health in general. In relation to the pandemic, 39% of respondents reported an increase in feelings of loneliness and isolation as a result of the ongoing pandemic conditions, and nearly 1 in 6 saying that they have lost at least 1 loved one to COVID-19.1 Although 34% of respondents said their feelings of anxiety and depression were related to worries about the pandemic, 38% cited financial stress and 35% cited politics/current events.
