The global elderly population is growing exponentially; with that comes the burden of mental health disorders and the associated comorbidities that these elderly suffer from. Psychological interventions have been proposed to offload that burden and decrease the severity or incidence of mental health disorders. The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the current literature on psychological interventions for mental health disorders. The current literature suggests sufficient evidence backed by extensive literature supporting psychological interventions in older adults. This aspect of care should be investigated and incorporated into treatment plans for mental health disorders as well as a form of prevention of other organic diseases that could lead to mental health disorders.
