Elderly women and late life depression
GM, 36, March, 2006
Depression is more common in the elderly and studies suggest that twice as many women
are likely to be affected by depression than men. There is also evidence that depression can
exacerbate the course or initiate the onset of serious and disabling medical conditions. In this
article, Professor Dora Kohen discusses depression in women and reviews the effect of some
common co-morbidities on depression in the elderly female population.
