Depression in the Elderly

Final Thoughts

Depression is not a normal part of growing older. When an older person no longer feels engaged and seems to stop enjoying life for longer than two weeks, it's time to seek medical help. If you notice yourself or a loved one beginning to have problems functioning or carrying out regular routines, that is when the problem has moved beyond normal depression toward a diagnosis of clinical depression.
