| Annotation | Depression in elderly people, particularly those who use home care services, is disturbingly common and, even more disturbingly, often goes unnoticed. Practitioners need to learn how to identify those at risk and distinguish between depression and the effects of physical illness or dementia. This article summarises some recent publications and research on the treatment, therapy or social support of older people with depression, dementia and other mental health problems. |
