It is very important to recognize the signs of depression and make sure that our loved ones are receiving the care that they need. The following is from an article from the National Institute on Aging:
“Depression in older adults may be difficult to recognize because they may show different symptoms than younger people. For some older adults with depression, sadness is not their main symptom. They may have other, less obvious symptoms of depression, or they may not be willing to talk about their feelings. Therefore, doctors may be less likely to recognize that their patient has depression.”
