In summary, I have reviewed the application of three major treatment modalities, psychotherapy, drug therapy, and electroconvulsive therapy, to the affective disorders of old age. Older patients are remarkably responsive to each of these forms of psychotherapy. Certain modifications in therapeutic approach must be introduced to make them effective. However, once these modifications are implemented many older patients can return to normal and satisfying lives following effective treatment of their affective disorders.
总之，我回顾了三种主要治疗方式，即心理治疗、药物治疗和电休克治疗在老年情感障碍中的应用。老年患者对这些心理治疗形式中的每一种都有显著反应。必须对治疗方法进行某些调整才能使其有效。然而，一旦实施了这些调整，许多老年患者在有效治疗情感障碍后能够恢复正常且满意的生活。
