Driving and Depression
Call Our Senior Advisors Today!
Older Adults who stop driving experience a sharp reduction in their social network and nearly double their risk of depression, according to a study in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society. Researchers found that stopping driving contributes to diminished physical and cognitive functioning and greater risk of admission to long-term care facilities. If a loved-one stops driving, it is important to ensure mobility and social functioning since at-home activities may not be as beneficial as activities they replace.
