Managing Depression in Older Adults: Practical Approaches to Complex Patients
|
Myths about late-life depression abound, especially
the belief
that this illness is a normal consequence of aging
and is
therefore untreatable. Some would imagine that the
increasing
burden of personal and social losses, physical
frailty, medical
illnesses, and anxiety over approaching mortality
predisposes
older adults to becoming depressed and staying that
way. In
his 1995 Atlantic Monthly article on depression in
late life,
psychotherapist Stanley Jacobson wrote, “Oldness
itself is
reason to be sad if you dwell on it.”
