N2  - The important prevalence of depression amongst old people (10-45%) and an increasing awareness of the problems of depression as a whole should reduce the current under-diagnosis of geriatric depression. However, doctors and healthcare workers in charge of the elderly are often confronted with more atypical forms of the disease than are found in younger subjects. Wherever an elderly patient has been subjected to substantial changes in his physical and/or emotional environment, depression must be suspected and efficiently treated over a sufficient length of time.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
