AnnotationIn this US cross-sectional survey of clinic users aged 60+ who met diagnostic criteria for major depression or dysthaemia, findings suggest that there is considerable opportunity to improve care for older people with depression. Particular efforts should be focused on improving access to depression care for older men, African Americans, Latinos, and patients who prefer treatments other than antidepressants - namely counselling and psychotherapy.
