This accessible and authoritative book provides an invaluable guide
to identifying, treating and preventing depression in later life.
Jill Manthorpe and Steve Iliffe take a multidisciplinary approach
and employ both medical and psycho-social models of depression. The
medical model is used to identify symptoms, make diagnoses and work
towards optimal treatment. Psycho-social perspectives provide
insight into the scale and complexity of the condition and point to
its social causes. The authors identify different levels of
depression through in-depth analysis and consider the condition in
relation to, but distinct from, dementia, psychosis and anxiety
disorders, helping professionals to make the correct diagnosis.
Supporting case studies show that depression, and the physical
symptoms often linked to it, are amenable to treatment. The authors
provide practical guidance for health and social care practitioners
and suggest numerous coping strategies. This comprehensive book is
essential reading for health and social care practitioners working
with older people, their carers and families.
