  • Title: Diagnosing and treating depression in the hospitalized elderly.
    Author: Stewart JT.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1991 Jan; 46(1):64-6, 71-2. PubMed ID: 1985070.
    Abstract:
    The interactions between depression and medical illness are complex, especially in the elderly patient, and particularly in the hospital setting. Differential diagnosis in this population is quite broad, encompassing both psychiatric and medical etiologies. With appropriate diagnosis, treatment of depression in the hospitalized elderly is extremely effective and can both improve quality of life and decrease health resource utilization.
