Depression Symptoms Varies Across Age Groups


Depression is a serious condition that needs to be identify and caught on time so the healing process can start as soon as possible. Our family members specially our elderly need for us to be aware of the symptoms of depression, so they can get help before it get worse. Identifying and treating depression is not a one person's job and is not a one fits all approach or treatment. We needs to get informed and ready to deal with it before depression grow roots and takes away the health and joy of our love ones.

Depression in Older Adults and the Elderly

RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS AND GETTING HELP

The difficult changes that you may face as you grow older—such as the death of a spouse or medical problems—can lead to depression, especially if you don’t have a strong support system. Left untreated, depression prevents you from enjoying life like you used to. And its effects go far beyond mood.
