SPEECH TITLE
Depression in older adults: opportunities for treatments
Abstract
Depression in older adults is common, has a considerable impact on the quality of life of patients and their relatives amd is associated with increased levels of morbidity and mortality. Psychological interventions are usually preferred as treatment. In this lecture I will discuss the most important types of psychological treatments of depression in older adults and their effects. I will go into treatment in older outpatients and nursing homes. I will show that treatments are effective, but also have several important limitations.
