Background/Objectives: International studies state that older adults are at an increased risk of mental health symptoms and disorders (depression, anxiety, and stress), especially elderly women aged >65 years. The literature on this topic is scarce, and there is a need for studies that investigate the associations between mental health issues and overall health in elderly women. This study aimed to investigate depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in elderly women in association with health status. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Klaipeda, Lithuania, in 2020. The survey included elderly women (n = 306) aged 65 to 80 years studying at the Third Age University in Klaipeda city. The DASS-21 and SHSQ-25 scales were used for the survey. Associations and correlations between both scale indicators were calculated. Results: Sociodemographic factors such as age, marital status, and place of residence were not statistically significant in terms of mental health, except for women living alone, who had slightly lower levels of depressive symptoms (p = 0.015). Mental health issues were quite common; almost half of the participants had higher than normal levels of anxiety (49.0%) and depression (48.4%), and one-third (29.8%) experienced stress. A strong positive correlation was observed between mental health symptoms and physical health, with anxiety having the greatest effect size on fatigue (Cohen’s d = 0.950, p < 0.001), cardiovascular symptoms (Cohen’s d = 0.757, p < 0.001), and mental status (Cohen’s d = 1.036, p < 0.001). Depressive symptoms had a large effect size on fatigue (Cohen’s d = 0.764, p < 0.001) and mental status (Cohen’s d = 0.816, p < 0.001), while stress had a moderate effect size on all health domains. Conclusions: The findings highlight that anxiety symptoms are a major contributor to mental health conditions and overall health in elderly women. This study’s results emphasise the need for targeted interventions to address mental health challenges in elderly women.
