AB  - Depression  in  older  adults  is  a  persistent  or  recurrent  disorder  resulting  from  psychosocial  stress  or  the  physiological  effects  of  disease.  This  psychological  problem  can  lead  to  disability,  cognitive  impairment,  exacerbation  of  medical  problems,  increased  use  of  health-care  services,  increased  suicide,  and  increased  risk  of  falls  (Brown  and  Roose,  2011;  Eggermont  et  al.,  2012).  It  complicates  the  treatment  of  other  physiological  problems.  Unfortunately,  depression  is  severely  under-recognized  and  undertreated.  This  lack  of  identification  and  treatment  can  be  traced  to  providers  assuming  that  the  signs  and  symptoms  of  depression  are  normal  age  changes  and/or  normal  responses  to  life  events  or  medical  problems.
