description: | Highlights • Compared to younger adults, is MDD in older adults symptomatically different, more common, difficult to treat, chronic, and more often caused by psychological factors? • MDD is less common in late-life, but has a more chronic course than younger adults. Older adults with subclinical depression report functional impairment similar to MDD. • Depression in late-life may be symptomatically different but more research is needed to separate impact of medical comorbidity • Older adults respond to treatment as well as younger adults; antidepressants may be less efficacious in late-life, while older age is a favorable predictor of ECT response • While older adults may benefit from enhanced ability to regulate emotions, research suggests that several age-related biological processes contribute to MDD in late-life |
