The growing incidence of depression in old age has stimulated
considerable research activity in recent years. Underdetected and
undertreated, it is a profoundly disabling condition associated
with a high rate of suicide. However, an enthusiastic approach to
its detection and management can considerably improve an otherwise
poor prognosis. Depression in Old Age is a distillate of the
research information currently available, describing the causes,
epidemiology and presentation of depression in the elderly. The
book also provides guidance on the detection and management of
depression as well as reviewing the psychosocial and biological
contributors to its aetiology and prognosis. It will be required
reading for those researching, or involved in, the areas of
psychiatry, psychology, medicine, social work and primary care.
