AnnotationDepression is more common in older people. Studies suggest that twice as many women are likely to be affected by depression than men. There is also evidence that depression can exacerbate the course or initiate the onset of serious and disabling medical conditions. In this article, the author discusses depression in women, and reviews the effect of some common co-morbidities on depression in the older female population. (RH).
