depression in the elderly

Posted by llurpsienoodle on April 14, 2008, at 8:01:06

My elderly relatives seem to be prone to a very deep depression. Two of them are taking lexapro. Are there any drugs that have been shown to be effective and safe for the elderly?

Perhaps there is something to genetics afterall...

let's see. depression for 3 generations...
