S017 Late-Life Depression: New Findings From Community and Clinic Based Populations in Dublin | |||
| Depression is the commonest mental illness in the community dwelling elderly, affecting up to 14% of people over 65 years. Controversy remains regarding the definition of cases, risk factors for depression, co-morbid factors such as anxiety, the impact of subsyndromal states and the overall treatability of this form of depression. This symposium will present new data from studies in Dublin which will address a number of these questions and provide a forum for discussion of key issues such as detection and treatment strategies for the large elderly population at-risk. | |||
