Psychosocial interventions have been effective in treating geriatric depression, either alone or better yet, in combination with antidepressant medications. Traditional strategies for nonpharmacological treatment of late-life depression do not specifically address the co-occurring cognitive impairment and disability that is prevalent in this population. Newer therapies are recognizing the need to simultaneously direct treatment efforts in late-life depression towards the triad of depressive symptoms, cognitive dysfunction, and functional disability that is so often found in geriatric depression, and this comprehensive approach holds promise for improved treatment outcomes.Keywords: geriatric depression, dementia, functional impairment, psychotherapyVictoria M WilkinsDimitris KiossesLisa D RavdinDove Medical Pressarticlegeriatric depressiondementiafunctional impairmentpsychotherapyGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 5, Pp 323-331 (2010)
