| Annotation | Depression in older men has a number of striking differences from depression in older women. It is more common in particular sub-populations, and in some of these it may be more common in men than women. The presentation of depression in older men is sometimes very difficult to recognise, being masked by over concern with physical symptoms and denial of depressed mood; also it more often results in death by suicide. The authors review the evidence for depression in men and how its effects are managed. (RH). |
