Depression is a common chronic mental health condition in the geriatric population. Elderly adults often suffer from depression due to age-related changes and losses such as decreased physical and social functioning, nearness to death, fear of disability, and worry about financial resources (Cox & Robinson, 2020). Additionally, older adults are more likely than younger adults to have been exposed to childhood or adult trauma that can contribute to depression later in life (Stein et al., 2019).
When diagnosing depression in elderly patients it is important for healthcare providers to consider age-related factors that may affect symptom presentation. Depression can present differently in elderly populations compared with younger individuals with fatigue and cognitive symptoms being especially common (Stein et al., 2019). Older adults typically respond well to interventions such as antidepressant medications; however the risks associated with polypharmacy should be considered when selecting an appropriate treatment plan (Cox & Robinson, 2020). The prognosis of geriatric depression is generally good but successful outcomes depend on early diagnosis and appropriate management (Stein et al., 2019).
Quality of life is particularly important for elderly patients suffering from depression given their greater susceptibility for developing physical comorbidities. Interventions aimed at improving mood should take into account the effects of aging on functional ability including activities related to social engagement, exercise, nutrition and sleep hygiene (Cox & Robinson, 2020). In addition psychosocial interventions such as counseling should also address issues related to bereavement and coping strategies specific for aging populations which can help improve quality of life (Stein et al., 2019).
In conclusion, depression is a common chronic mental health condition seen among older adults however its presentation may differ due age-related changes. It is important that healthcare providers consider these factors when assessing older patients presenting with depressive symptoms so they can provide optimal care tailored specifically towards this population.
