Abstract
Key Points
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) not a "normal part of aging."
- Age influences demographics, etiology, presentation, assessment, acute and maintenance treatment, and outcome.
- Depressive syndromes in later life are significant and very treatable and recent advances in psychotherapies and somatic therapies improve treatment effectiveness.
