AnnotationDepression in older age is common, disabling and under-treated. This review will examine recent advances in our understanding of its clinical presentation, epidemiology, management and prognosis. The relationship of depression with dementia and with physical illness is also discussed, as are the links between suicides, deliberate self-harm and depression in old age. (KJ).
