Depresia la persoanele în vârstă poate fi confundată adesea cu îmbătrânirea. Ce semne apar

Depression in older adults often goes unnoticed due to overlapping symptoms with aging. The WHO reports a 5.4% prevalence in those over 70. Symptoms can be physical, such as weight changes and low energy, or cognitive, resembling dementia. Social withdrawal and loss of interest in activities are key emotional signs. Open conversations and support from family are crucial for those affected. Encouraging healthy lifestyle choices and connecting them with mental health professionals can aid recovery.
