Projecting Older People Population Information System

The total population aged 65 and over predicted to have depression is predicted to increase by 15.56% from 2023 to 2030 and by 26.79% by 2040. For severe depression this is predicted to increase by 14.56% from 2023 to 2030 and by 28.36% by 2040 (from 2023).

Projecting Adult Needs and Service Information System

Predictive statistics are shown below for the type of mental health for the population aged 18-64, the percentage change is shown from 2023 to 2030 and from 2023 to 2040.

All demonstrate a predicted decline.

The total population aged 18-64, number of mortalities predicted to be from suicide does not predict an increase or decrease and predicts the greatest number of mortalities predicted to be from suicide within the males aged 35-64 group.
