Elderly Depression: Very real, very dangerous... but treatable.

Jan 27, 2010 at 11:22am

I've been hearing a lot more lately about elderly depression. It is sad that so many older people have feelings of being alone or that their depression is fact of life that they will suffer from until they die. More and more home care workers and families are caring for seniors that suffer from depression.

Dr. Stephen Hall, Clinical Professor of psychiatry at UCSF gave a lecture for University of California's Mini Medical School. It is a very enlightening look into depression during later in late. This is a technical discussion, but has great info in it.

Here is a direct link to the video about depression in the elderly.
