Abstract

This chapter discusses the economics of mental health and illness in the context of ageing. We describe how key characteristics of mental illnesses may affect social and economic outcomes across the life course. We provide perspectives on the epidemiology of these illnesses in a life course context. We then discuss the social welfare challenges generated by the interplay of mental illness and ageing, including effects on the health system.
