Charney and Nemeroff on the elderly

Posted by Squiggles on September 6, 2006, at 7:31:37

I was reading "The Peace of Mind Prescription"
last night. Contrary to Charles Medawar's
and others' precautions, they say that depression
is common in seniors and with it anxiety--in itself--and should therefore be treated in the same way as it is in younger people.
I thought I would bring this up, because there *is* some concern about adverse effects of giving ADs and sedatives to the elderly.
