Abstract
Depression in later life can present unique clinical and therapeutic challenges. Phenomenology is often atypical and the concurrence of physical illness can confound both diagnosis and treatment. A review of current knowledge about epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and therapeutic issues is presented.
