What are the special considerations that apply to the diagnosis and treatment of depression in late life? The NIH Consensus Development Conference set out to address this topic in detail; Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression in Late Life presents their findings. Compiled by experts in the field, Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression in Late Life provides comprehensive studies on early-life depression versus late-life depression, the prevalence of depression in elderly people and the risk factors involved, issues regarding safe and effective treatment, the patterns for health service use, and the consequences of unrecognized or inadequately treated depression.
