Depression im Alter (Informationsvortrag)

In the organizer's words:

Around 10% of all elderly people suffer from depression. In contrast, depression is less common in the general population at 6%.

Depression in old age can be triggered by many factors and rarely arises from a single cause. In addition to a genetic predisposition, neurobiological disorders and certain developmental and personality factors (psychosocial factors) promote the development of depression. Age-related biological changes and influences represent a further risk.

The lecture provides information about the clinical picture of depression, possible signs and provides assistance in dealing with it.
