Depression in Older Adults: A Treatable Medical Condition
Prim Care.
2017 Sep.
Abstract
Depression is not a normal part of the aging process. Depression in older adults is a treatable medical condition; a variety of psychotherapeutic options are available. Electroconvulsive therapy is a useful treatment. Older patients must be viewed in their medical, functional, and social context for effective management. Cognition must be assessed along with mood in the older patient with depression.
Keywords: Antidepressants; Depression; Electroconvulsive therapy.
