The impact of depression on quality of life of the elderly

B Gurland. Clin Geriatr Med. 1992 May.

Abstract

The individual who suffers the onset of a clinical level of depression is likely to experience a substantial transformation of the quality of his or her whole life. This can be demonstrated by examining the patterns of the course of depression from its onset to the end of life, in particular the impact of depression on morbidity (including symptom distress), functioning, and mortality.
