Symptomatic and functional recovery in depression in later life

Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology Jun 22, 2018

Collard RM, et al. - Older persons depressed at baseline (non-remitted group and remitted group after 2 years) and a non-depressed comparison group were examined for the change in several domains of functioning over 2 years. Researchers retrieved data from a cohort study (Netherlands Study of Depression in Older persons [NESDO]) consisting of depressed older persons ≥ 60 years (N = 378) and a non-depressed comparison group (N = 132) with 2 years of follow-up (attrition rate 24%). They observed long-term debilitating effects on functioning in association with depression in later life. These effects remained even after remission from depression. Hence they recommend including functional recovery in depression treatment in later life rather than just symptomatic recovery.
