Depression is not a normal part of the aging process. Depression in older adults is a treatable medical condition; a variety of psychotherapeutic options are available. Electroconvulsive therapy is a useful treatment. Older patients must be viewed in their medical, functional, and social context for effective management. Cognition must be assessed along with mood in the older patient with depression.
抑郁症并非衰老过程中的正常现象。老年人的抑郁症是一种可治疗的医学病症；有多种心理治疗选择可供使用。电休克疗法是一种有效的治疗方法。为了进行有效管理，必须从老年患者的医疗、功能和社会背景来考虑他们。对于患有抑郁症的老年患者，必须同时评估其认知和情绪状况。
