​

Depression is a mental state of being that is quite common in the older adult population. Unfortunately, depression is underdiagnosed in this population and therefore not fully addressed or treated.

​

Depression is diagnosed if the individual has had two consecutive weeks of some of the following symptoms: Feelings of hopelessness and despair, expressing thoughts of wanting to end their life, decreased appetite or overeating, weight loss or weight gain, excessive drug or alcohol intake, avoiding all social interactions, no longer wanting to engage in hobbies, friends or family members, self-neglect, unable to keep a job, depressed mood for most of the day, etc.

It is important to distinguish depression from other commonly used words that people mistakenly use to describe depression. Feeling the “blues,” sadness, weary, “low,” are usually reserved for people when they are experiencing short-term emotions of general sadness.

Causes for a patient developing depression are widespread and individual. Some examples include – the loss of a spouse, loss of a pet, diagnoses of a terminal illness (cancer), chronic pain, loss of independence such as the loss of their driver’s license, forced to move from their home due to increasing disability or disease, social isolation, bankruptcy, etc.

​

Not everyone that experiences one of the above will develop depression, some people are able to combat hardship and sorrow more effectively with a combination of personality and character traits, resiliency, social support, and positive coping skills.

​

Positive coping skills are vital in gradually overcoming tragedy in our lives. These include – deep breathing, meditation, exercise, journaling, praying, music therapy, talking to others, etc.
Negative coping skills include – excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, gambling, etc.
