Ageing
Even when he s grey around the muzzle, the black dog of
depression can still deliver a ferocious bite. Depression can
strike at any age, and it may appear for the first time as we get
older, as a result of life circumstances or our genetic makeup.
While older people face the same kinds of mental health issues as
younger people, they can find it more difficult to deal with them
owing to the stressors which accumulate with age. There is also a
high incidence of undiagnosed depression in older age, presenting
extra challenges for carers.
Managing Depression Growing Older offers a systematic guide to
identifying depression in older people, supporting them at home or
in an aged care setting, and the importance of diet, exercise and
attitude in recovery. It is essential reading for anyone who works
with the elderly.
