Mental Health · Wisconsin · Free

Free 24/7 confidential treatment referral and information. 1-800-662-4357. Relevant for older adults with dementia caregivers reporting personality changes — depression and dementia can look similar. Telehealth therapy is widely available and Medicare-covered; many seniors prefer the privacy and avoid transportation barriers. Depression in seniors often shows up as physical complaints, appetite changes, sleep problems, or memory issues — not sadness. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
