Abstract

This chapter opens the book by providing an introduction to ageing and mental health in a global context. It offers an eclectic snapshot of population ageing and mental health issues that affect older people. The chapter briefly discusses the scope, causes, and consequences of population ageing, followed by a discussion on mental health in later life. The chapter highlights the diversity of mental health services for older people in socially, culturally, and geographically different settings. The conclusion of this chapter will provide the structure of the book.
