The article explains that geriatric depression is not a normal sign of ageing, but a serious, often overlooked illness. Its symptoms resemble typical age-related complaints, which is why many sufferers don’t receive help. Left untreated, it worsens health, increases suicide risk and can accelerate dementia processes.
