Logan Psychologists

Recognising Depression in Older Adults can be challenging. Many fail to recognise the symptoms, or are often reluctant to talk about their feelings or ask for help. Some of the reasons that depression in the elderly is often overlooked include:

• The belief that depression is just a part of ageing
• Assuming that you have good reason to be down
• Not realising that physical complaints are signs of depression
• Co-occurring medical conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, or diabetes

Therapy works well for depression as it addresses the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms. If you have lost interest in activities that you once enjoyed, or finding it hard to manage some of the challenges ahead, seeing a psychologist can help.
