1 Depression and Loneliness in Geriatric Communities By: Vanessa Billingsley, MS4
2 Depression in Late Life Late-life depression (occurring in persons 60 years of age or older) is common and is often associated with coexisting medical illness, cognitive dysfunction, or both 1. Older adults who meet criteria for dysphoria may have higher risk of ADL/IADL impairment, psychologic distress, cognitive impairment, and death 2. Elderly adults who are depressed tend to experience more somatic symptoms, anxiety, and irritability rather than low mood 1.
3 Screening for Depression The Geriatric Depression Scale is a measure of depression based on self-reported answers to 30 questions. Targets elderly patients, who often present differently than younger patients. Originally designed and tested for validity in Photo:
4 Loneliness: Also Clinically Significant Social isolation, loneliness, and lack of adequate support are social conditions that exact a significant toll on psychological well-being and physical health, with the costs of these conditions particularly high among retired and elder population 4. With an increasing aging population, the effect [of loneliness] on public health is only anticipated to increase. Indeed, many nations around the world now suggest we are facing a loneliness epidemic. The challenge we face now is what can be done about it 5.
5 The American Psychological Association states that loneliness 5 : May be more detrimental to health than obesity. Has a significant effect on early death (equal to that of obesity). loneliness was a predictor of functional decline and death 6. Photo:
6 What is Loneliness? Non-integrated + Social!Network! Integrated Subjective feeling of being alone Often but not always associated with social isolation and/or social support 4. Has been described as an unfavorable balance between actual and desired social contact 7.!actual!'!desired!social!contact! - Alone!but!NOT!LONELY! Alone!and!LONELY! Not!alone,!NOT!LONELY! Not!alone,!but!LONELY!!% LONELY "% LONELY!
7 Is Loneliness Related to Depression? Some postulate that decreased social contacts seen among elderly individuals is explained by increase in social selectivity, suggesting that the elderly are not as lonely as we may think 8. The same researchers state that aging adults concentrate their efforts on more satisfying relationships and that for older individuals the cost of interactions with less familiar acquaintances is higher than the benefit 8, possibly explaining the loneliness experienced by those who are faced with the loss of a loved one or with abrupt change in living arrangements 9. Photo: Others find that loneliness is underestimated and theorize that loneliness in later life can be thought of as a low-level depression for many who suffer from it 10.
8 Photo: Both the extent of one s social network and the subjective feeling of loneliness are highly and independently associated with depression in the elderly 7.
9 UCLA Loneliness Scale Measures loneliness in adults within a range of ages, including older adults. Consists of 20 questions, answered on a 4 point scale ranging from never to always. First presented in an article titled Developing a Measure of Loneliness in the Journal of Personality Assessment in , and it has been modified twice since then.

13 SUMMARY Various forms of depression exist in geriatric populations, and elderly patients who are depressed may present differently than younger patients. It is important to differentiate the cognitive decline suffered by depressed geriatric patients from that of those suffering from dementia 1,2,3. Knowing the risk factors for depression in this population and using the Geriatric Depression Scale can be useful tools to screen for depression among these patients 3,9. Loneliness, which can be measured using the UCLA loneliness scale, is not equal to depression but is related to it. It is an independent risk factor for depression. Notably, loneliness itself has its own risk factors 8,9,10,11. Loneliness is a clinically significant social factor and is predictive of mortality and functional decline 4,5,6,7. When working with elderly patients, being able to identify and optimize risk and resilience factors for both depression and loneliness is important and worthwhile. Depression among the elderly is associated with comorbidities and mortality, and identifying/treating the patients at risk has the potential to markedly improve their lives.
