Özet

Major depression, dysthymic disorders and subclinical depressions are common psychiatric problems after the age of 65. Bipolar depression in elderly, however, is either an aging previous patient or someone whose first attack has appeared on late life. The first step of treatment in the elderly depression is the investigation of the etiology for excluding any medical background.
