Geriatric Psychiatry
The major growth of interest in research specifically concerned with clinical aspects of the psychiatry of old age led in 1986 to the publication of an international journal entirely devoted to this topic. This book is a collection of papers from the most recent volumes, selected to reflect the high quality and wide coverage for which the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry has become renowned. The book?s purpose is to provide, for those in the field who are not regular readers of the journal, a guide to the key research topics relevant to their work, with particular emphasis on the day-to-day preoccupations and interests of clinicians dealing with the elderly. All those working in the fields of mental health care, geriatric medicine and primary and community care who seek a fuller understanding of the disorders they treat and how to manage them will find that this collection provides a valuable insight into the scope and breadth of the research which underpins their clinical work.

Depression in Later Life
The geriatric population, defined as men and women 65 years and older, is the fastest growing population in the world. While gerontology, the study of the aging process in human beings, has brought insights about the physical, emotional, and social needs of this population, little attention has been given to the mental health of the aging, and often treatable disorders are overlooked entirely. Depression is one of the leading mental disorders in any age group, but among the elderly it is often viewed as a normal part of aging. But it’s not. Depression at any age requires attention and treatment. For sufferers and their families and caregivers, this go-to guide introduces readers to depress...

In fact for every medical illness studied, e.g. heart disease, diabetes, cancer, individuals who are depressed have a worse prognosis. Research has illuminated the physiological and behavioral effects of depression ...
