Despite the rising population of older persons in our society, older adults’ health, especially mental health, continues to be shrouded in ignorance, shamed and stigmatised. We also see older adults begging to survive, homeless older adults, and the elderly living alone in dilapidated houses. The United Nations designated October 1st as the International Day of Older Persons in celebration of older adults and to increase awareness of the challenges and opportunities of population ageing. Ageism, the stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination of older adults based on their age, remains a major obstacle to older adults. The Well-being of Older Persons: Everyone’s ResponsibilityPromoting the well-being and rights of older persons is a shared societal responsibility.
