How To Help Older Adults with Depression (Ep #036)

How To Help Older Adults with Depression (Ep #036)// Depression is not a normal part of aging, but depression is the most prevalent mental health condition among older adults. Unfortunately, depression in late life often goes undetected and untreated largely due to the false belief that with age comes depression. This is why it is so important to learn about depression and have tools and resources to help aging parents get treated for depression.

- What are the rates of depression in older adults?
