February Newsletter Depression
Depression in the Elderly
Depression in later life frequently coexists with other medical illnesses and disabilities. As people age they begin to loose their support systems, they experience continued loss due to the death of a spouse or siblings, retirement and also relocation all play a role in ones mental status.
People expect elderly to naturaly slow down as they age, therefore depression is often over looked in the elderly. Depression tends to last longer in elderly adults. It also inhibits an elderly persons ability to heal and rehabilitate after an injury or illness.
Symptoms of Depression:
· Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
· Fatigue and decreased energy
· Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and or helplessness
· Insomnia, early morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
· Irritability, restlessness
· Loss of interest in activities or hobbies
· Loss of interest in sex
· Overeating or appetite loss
· Persistent aches and pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems
· Sadness that doesn’t go away, anxious or “empty” feeling
· Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

News from the nurse · As always remember that we need a current and updated list of medications. If there are changes during a medical office visit, please ask the doctor to write and sign the changes for our records. The changes should include name of drug, frequency, and parameters if to be given on an “as needed” basis. Thank you. Please remember that infection control is very important to our frail population. · If a participant should present with symptoms that may be contagious please stay at home. · Symptoms include frequent productive coughing, runny nose and sneezing, a temp of greater than 100˚ F, vomiting, diarrhea, generalized malaise and body aches indicative of beginning of the flu. We have turned on our air conditioning system. If you get easily chilled, please bring a sweater to stay comfortable.
We will be closed Monday September 6th in celebration of LABOR DAY!
