Everyone               feels               sad               at               times.

Grief               is               a               normal               part               of               life;               but               suffering               from               depression               is               not.

Seniors               may               exhibit               symptoms               of               depression               differently               than               younger               age               groups.

Would               you               be               able               to               tell               if               you,               or               a               senior               you               loved,               suffered               from               depression?

Knowing               what               causes               seniors               to               be               at               greater               risk               for               developing               depression               will               increase               your               awareness,               making               it               easier               to               recognize               symptoms.

There               are               effective               treatments               to               help               seniors               with               depression               and               the               information               in               this               article               should               help.

If               you               are               a               senior               and               you               feel               you               might               have               depression,               you               aren't               alone.

According               to               the               National               Institutes               of               Health               about               seven               million               senior               Americans               aged               65               and               over               suffer               with               depression.

Over               two               million               of               these               are               seniors               suffering               from               major               depression.

The               remaining               five               million               seniors               are               affected               by               less               severe               forms               of               the               illness               that               often               present               itself               in               a               variety               of               misunderstood               or               overlooked               symptoms.
               So               what               is               the               difference               between               grief               and               depression?

How               is               it               recognized               and               what               really               determines               that               point               when               normal               grieving               has               turned               into               a               depression?

Distinguishing               depression               from               the               normal               grieving               process               may               seem               difficult,               especially               after               the               death               of               a               loved               one.

Normal               grieving               may               take               weeks               or               months               to               process.

But               even               while               grieving,               most               of               us               can               still               smile               through               the               tears,               laugh               at               a               good               joke,               and               find               some               purpose               and               meaning               in               life.

Whenever               all               feelings               of               joy               and               hope               are               gone,               grief               is               no               longer               just               grief;               it's               depression.
               Medterms.com               defines               depression               as               "an               illness               that               involves               the               body,               mood               and               thoughts               that               affect               the               way               a               person               eats               and               sleeps,               the               way               one               feels               about               oneself,               and               the               way               one               thinks               about               things."
               Working               as               a               geriatric               nurse               in               long-term               care               facilities               for               many               years,               I               witnessed               first               hand               the               devastating               effects               depression               can               have               on               seniors.

I               may               not               be               a               senior,               but               having               suffered               from               depression               myself,               I               know               first               hand               the               importance               of               getting               treatment.

Left               untreated,               depression               carries               serious               risks               for               seniors,               preventing               them               from               enjoying               life               and               taking               a               heavy               toll               on               their               mental               and               physical               health.
               According               to               the               Center               for               Healthy               Aging               at               http://www.helpguide.org/               seniors               suffering               from               untreated               depression               not               only               suffer               more               illnesses,               they               may               abuse               prescription               drugs               and               alcohol,               suffer               from               higher               mortality               rates               and               even               commit               suicide.

Seniors               with               a               personal               or               family               history               of               depression,               failing               health,               or               substance               abuse               are               at               greater               risk               for               depression,               especially               if               they               have               inadequate               social               support.
               The               New               England               Centenarian               Study,               the               largest               study               of               centenarians               and               their               families               in               the               world,               has               shown               that               a               strong               social               network               of               friends,               family,               and               community               is               the               key               to               longevity.

Seniors               with               few               friends               or               family               members               are               more               prone               to               depression               because               they               have               a               weaker               support               system               to               help               them               through               tough               times.
               Many               factors--mental,               physical,               and               emotional               can               contribute               to               depression               in               seniors.

Often               it               is               not               a               single               factor               alone,               but               a               combination               of               several               factors               that               cause               a               senior's               depression.
               Common               life               stressors               that               cause               or               contribute               to               depression               in               seniors               include:
               #1--Loneliness.This               is               a               significant               cause               of               depression               in               seniors               especially               those               lacking               a               strong               social               network.

Seniors               that               have               out-lived               close               family               and               friends               see               their               social               network               shrinking.

Seniors               that               live               alone               and               do               not               drive               tend               to               be               more               isolated,               increasing               their               feelings               of               loneliness.
               #2--Health               problems.

Poor               health               can               contribute               to               depression               in               seniors,               especially               when               conditions               are               terminal               or               cause               chronic               pain               and               suffering.

Major               illnesses               I               have               seen               trigger               depression               in               seniors               include               heart               attacks               and               strokes,               diabetes,               multiple               sclerosis,               Parkinson's               disease,               cancer,               and               Alzheimer's               disease               and               dementia.

Lung               diseases               that               require               oxygen               tanks               to               breath               often               trigger               depression,               too.
               #3--Grief               .

The               death               of               a               spouse,               life-partner               or               a               beloved               pet               is               a               major               contributing               cause               of               depression               in               seniors.

You               may               even               have               known               a               senior               that               just               seemed               to               "give               up"               and               die               shortly               after               their               spouse.

My               own               grandmother               died               shortly               after               my               grandfather.

They               had               been               together               for               sixty               years.
               #4--Medications.

Prescription               drugs               can               cause               depression               or               make               an               underlying               depression               worse.

Sometimes,               it               may               not               be               the               side               effect               of               a               single               drug,               but               a               combination               of               two               or               more               drugs               causing               the               problem.

Non-prescription               drugs               may               play               into               the               mix,               too.

This               is               why               a               careful               review               of               a               senior's               medications               should               be               done               anytime               depression               is               suspected.
               #5--Chronic               fear               and               anxiety.

This               is               a               common               contributor               to               depression               in               seniors.

Financial               or               health               related               fears               are               common               and               while               real               concerns,               they               become               exaggerated               by               anxiety.

My               grandmother               obsessed               over               her               bowels.

She               constantly               discussed               the               issue               and               became               extremely               anxious               if               she               didn't               get               a               particular               number               of               prunes               every               morning.
               #6--Fear               of               death               and               dying.

I               have               seen               this               quite               often               in               terminally               ill               seniors.

This               anxiety               can               be               a               contributing               cause               of               depression               in               seniors.

I               once               cared               for               a               99-year               old               woman               who               forced               herself               to               stay               awake               every               night               because               she               just               "knew"               if               she               fell               asleep,               she               wouldn't               wake               up.

Exhausted               from               chronic               sleep               deprivation,               sleeping               pills               were               out               of               the               question.

She               finally               agreed               to               medication               to               help               her               "nerves"               and               anti-depression               treatment               reduced               her               anxiety,               enabling               her               to               finally               get               a               good               night's               sleep.

She               lived               for               another               year,               dying               peacefully               at               100               with               a               smile               on               her               face               after               eating               a               second               helping               of               apple               pie!
               #7--Loss               of               identity.

Seniors               who               have               placed               much               of               their               personal               identity               into               jobs               or               careers               they               can               no               longer               physically               perform               are               more               at               risk               to               depression.

This               loss               of               personal               identity               and               sense               of               purpose               are               even               more               stressful               as               the               actual               health               condition               to               these               seniors.

Newly               retired               seniors               that               are               healthy               but               have               no               hobbies               or               plans               to               replace               occupy               their               days               may               suffer               the               same               feelings               of               sadness               and               loss.
               #8--Loss               of               independence.

Deteriorating               health               may               require               a               personal               care               attendant               or               a               senior               being               forced               to               move               into               a               relative's               home               or               a               senior               care               facility.

Many               seniors               become               depressed               when               faced               with               the               prospect               of               losing               their               homes               and               their               independence.

Their               greatest               fear--becoming               dependent               on               others--is               stronger               than               fear               of               death               or               dying               and               may               trigger               depression.
               Seniors               often               exhibit               symptoms               of               depression               differently               than               younger               age               groups.

They               don't               often               complain               of               feeling               sad               and               may               even               deny               it               if               asked.

Understanding               the               stressors               that               put               seniors               at               greater               risk               for               depression               will               help               increase               your               awareness,               making               it               easier               to               recognize               symptoms               of               depression               when               they               occur
               Common               symptoms               of               depression               seen               in               seniors               include:
               1.

Unexplained               or               aggravated               aches               and               pains               including               increased               complaints               of               headaches,               back               aches,               or               arthritis               pain.

This               is               often               the               most               prominent               symptom               of               depression               in               seniors.
               2.

Complaints               of               a               lack               of               energy               or               motivation               or               moving               about               exceptionally               slow
               3.

Signs               of               anxiety--pacing,               wringing               hands,               unable               to               sit               still               with               repeated               movements               like               tapping               feet               or               slapping               their               side
               4.

Memory               problems               and               increased               forgetfulness               (may               also               be               a               symptom               of               dementia)
               5.

Irritability
               6.

Forgetting               to               take               medication               (may               also               be               a               symptom               of               dementia)

Poor               personal               hygiene
               8.

Losing               interest               in               food.

Skipping               meals               is               common               among               depressed               seniors               living               alone;               not               only               not               fixing               meals               for               themselves               but               not               eating               food               others               have               delivered               to               them.

Losing               weight
               10.

               Whenever               discussing               treatment               options               for               depression               with               your               doctor,               seniors               should               ensure               their               other               health               issues               are               also               addressed.

Anything               that               might               interfere               with               treating               depression               such               as               chronic               pain               management               needs               addressed               in               their               treatment               plan.

               2.

Cognitive               behavioral               therapy;               (CBT)               is               often               used               as               a               method               to               help               change               negative               thinking               patterns               making               it               easier               to               deal               with               problems               in               healthier               ways               by               developing               better               coping               skills.
               3.

Combination               of               Counseling               and               Therapy.

According               to               counseling               and               therapy               have               proven               to               be               just               as               effective               as               medication               in               treating               mild               to               moderate               depression               in               seniors.
               4.

Support               groups.

These               are               effective               for               seniors               grieving               the               death               of               a               loved               one,               or               suffering               another               major               life               stressor,               to               share               their               thoughts               and               feeling               with               others               going               through               similar               circumstances.

               5.

Prescription               drugs               may               effectively               help               treat               depression               in               seniors               or               be               used               in               a               combination               with               other               treatments.

Drugs               may               not               always               be               the               treatment               choice.

Doctors               need               to               consider               potential               side               effects               and               safety               concerns.

Seniors               that               have               someone               closely               monitoring               their               medications               may               be               stronger               candidates               for               drug               therapy.
               Self-help               tips               for               seniors               to               ease               their               own               symptoms               of               depression               
               These               self-help               tips               can               help               prevent               seniors               from               feeling               isolated               and               lonely,               improving               symptoms               of               depression.

Remember               the               key               to               longevity               is               also               the               key               to               avoiding               depression--staying               active               and               building               a               strong               social               network               of               friends,               family,               and               community.
               1.

Make               a               determined               effort               to               get               up               out               of               bed               and               dressed               every               morning.
               2.

Make               the               bed.

An               elderly               woman               shared               this               with               me               and               said               her               mom               had               been               right,               making               the               bed               was               a               habit               that               helps               to               set               a               positive               tone               for               the               rest               of               the               day.

Plus,               there's               less               temptation               to               climb               back               in               once               the               bed               is               made.
               3.

Force               yourself               to               get               out               of               the               house               a               little               every               day.

Staying               cooped               up               inside               can               be               depressing--so               take               a               walk,               check               the               mail,               go               to               the               park,               walk               the               dog,               meet               a               friend,               go               to               the               store,               just               do               whatever               it               takes               to               get               motivated               enough               to               get               out               of               the               house.
               4.

Socialize               and               stay               connected               with               family               and               friends.

If               health               problems               prevent               active               socializing,               invite               others               to               their               home.

Keep               in               contact               with               loved               ones               that               live               at               a               distance               by               phone               or               mail.

E-mail               is               wonderful               for               seniors               to               keep               in               touch               with               others.
               5.

Plan               your               day               by               making               a               schedule               or               daily               "to               do"               list.

Writing               down               things               you               would               like               to               accomplish               makes               you               more               inclined               to               keep               active.
               6.

Spend               time               pursing               a               favorite               hobby               or               start               a               new               one.
               7.

Take               a               class               or               learn               a               new               skill.

Many               non-profit               agencies,               community               groups,               senior               centers,               churches,               and               local               colleges               offer               classes               for               seniors               at               little               or               no               cost.
               8.

Be               a               community               volunteer               and               share               your               skills               with               talents               with               others.
               9.

Get               a               pet               to               keep               you               company               and               share               your               love.
               10.

Maintain               optimum               nutrition               by               eating               a               healthy               diet               and               taking               a               daily               multi-vitamin.

And               be               sure               to               take               all               prescribed               medications               as               directed               by               your               doctor.
               11.

Exercise               regularly               to               maintain               muscle               strength               and               help               improve               your               mood.

Remember,               exercise               releases               endorphins--those               natural               "feel               good"               chemicals.
               12.

Maintain               your               sense               of               humor               by               consciously               finding               reasons               to               laugh               a               little               every               day.

Laughter               is               contagious               and               good               medicine.

But,               also               remember               that               misery               loves               company.

So               smile,               share               a               joke,               feel               free               to               laugh               at               yourself,               and               try               to               avoid               people               that               seem               to               drag               you               down               and               make               you               feel               more               depressed.
               If               you               are               a               senior               and               feel               you               might               be               suffering               from               depression,               please               take               that               first               step               and               seek               help.

Recognizing               symptoms               of               depression               and               getting               effective               treatment               can               improve               memory,               concentration,               energy,               and               overall               quality               of               life.

Treatment               for               depression               helps               many               seniors               rebuild               the               hope               and               joy               missing               in               their               daily               lives.
