Depression is a mood disorder that affects our emotional and mental functioning. While sadness is a major symptom of depression, many elderly with depression claim to not feel sad. Moreover, many assume that feeling low is a part of ageing and many are reluctant to talk about it. These are some reasons for why depression in the elderly is so often overlooked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Studies reveal that Geriatric Depression in India is as frequent as 10% to 25% of the elderly population. This means that the rate of depression goes up to as much as 1 in 4 elderly.<\/p>\n

Red Flags of Depression<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n
    \n
  • Feeling of sadness, low mood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Increased Irritability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Complains of aches and pains, often unexplained<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Reduced socialization, loss of interest in hobbies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Weight loss and\/or reduced appetite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Memory problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Lack of motivation, fatigue, slowed movement or speech<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Fixation on death; thoughts of suicide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Neglecting personal care (skipping meals, forgetting meds, neglecting personal hygiene)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Reduced self-worth (worries about being a burden, feelings worthless or self-loathing)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
    \n
  • Sleep disturbances (difficulty falling or staying asleep \/ oversleeping \/ daytime sleepiness)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Hopelessness or helplessness (like there is no way out or no one who can help)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Recognizing the signs and symptoms is the first step in getting help. If you notice some of the above symptoms manifesting in your loved one, then it\u2019s a time to be alerted to the possibility of them being depressed. How can you help them?<\/p>\n

    Psychologists and counsellors can help the elderly cope and come out of the depression while medication may also be prescribed by a psychiatrist to correct the neuro-chemical imbalances that depression brings about. However, once you have recognized a depression, it\u2019s important to understand your role in helping them.<\/p>\n

    The following are some \u201cDo\u2019s and Dont\u2019s\u201d in helping the elderly with depression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    \n

    DOs<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    DONTs<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    Have a calm and planned conversation with them with the aim to find out what might be bothering them and any recent changes that affected them.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Don\u2019t angry at them as you\u2019re anxious about their wellbeing. Forcing them might backfire so taking it slow is important.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    You may use softer words such as \u2018feeling blue\u2019, going through a \u2018rough time\u2019 to take the edge off.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Don\u2019t use words like depression, \u2018can\u2019t cope\u2019 or other words that may make them defensive.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    Reassure them that you understand how they feel and are not judging them and will support them in their decision.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Don\u2019t let them feel judged and labelled. They are likely to feel guilt and shame and that must be removed.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    Let them help themselves as far as possible and help them break down tasks into smaller activities but retaining their independence.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Don\u2019t take over and do everything for them. That might make them feel like a burden.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    Take their permission to be part of the process of visiting doctors and going for appointment so that you can help communicate to the doctor and back.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Don\u2019t force your way in, but seek their permission and show your intent to help. Being there to support will help make the process less scary for them.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
