- Geriatric Depression - is it normal for old people tp be sad? Diagnosis of Depression
Dr. Nicole Didyk, a Geriatrician, explains what's different about depression in late life: How we diagnose it, what medications and medical conditions can can contribute to it and what happens if depression is left untreated.
Most of us can relate to feeling sad or blue, sometimes for days at a time. We’ve all experienced this, in response to a major life event like losing a job, a relationship breaking up, or as part of grief. These sad feelings can lead us to feel less interested in enjoyable activities, make us lose our appetite or disrupt sleep.
Sad feelings are natural and can happen with the typical transitions and changes of aging. But depression from a medical point of view is something different and is not a normal part of getting older.

Being in one’s late 70s & have lost your husband after 45 years is obviously very depressing. Very difficult to just cope with daily routines with the lurking pointlessness. So it’s a day to day existence.
That was so helpful! Love your manner of instruction: calm, deliberate, and to the point. This helps me better understand some of our residents and maybe alert our provider to assess their recent change of demeanor.

13. Rarely exercises if u don't count watering plantsHi there! 👋 I hope this msg will motivate you.
I know this guy name Mike. He's from San Antonio, TX. He's probably in his late 50s or early 60s by now. After u read this, I hope u get motivated to turn ur life around. Keep grinding 💪 my friends.
1. Divorced
2. Got evicted from his previous apartment; refused to leave letting cops to confront da situations
3. Has a grown son 28-30 yrs old
4. Loudmouth, cusses often, mocks all kinds of people
5. Heard him say racist comments to a group of four Hispanic men. Probably many more raging racist episodes out in public
6. People dislike him cuz of his mouth. Peeps r also intimidated by it.
7. Had cancer 2k13; God's wrath!
8. Big, chubby 230-245 with no cardio at all. Just only care about lifting weights
9. 711 diet. Dude likes to eat their hotdogs 🌭 and pizza. Drink lotsa slurpy!
10. His idol, Donald Trump, lost da election in 2020. Mike still pissed 😤 af! Everything's rigged to him according to his own beliefs.
11. Horrible wardrobe style. Brags abt how he can make a nice, walk-in closet but dress like 💩 💩 💩
12. No vacations/no go out to eat for dinner; stays home while his gf and her companions go out
13. Eats 2 much meat 🍖 and believes in "all-about-da-meat diet!" Has no liking 4 fruits n veggies. To him, these food r for pansies...
He's a miserable guy. Hope this inspires you to see that there r miserable people out there who still refuses to point out their personal, mental, psychological, and spiritual problems!
At least if u admit ur depressed or something, u have already made ur 1st step to improvement/growth!
Antidepressants were recommended for my mom however she is 83 and already has dementia. I’m resistant to allowing yet another rx to her long list of meds. At 84 slowing down is expected (common sense) and risk of increased falls is a concern
Is bipolar illness treated with the same meds as depression?
