Depression Among Seniors

The Canadian Psychological Association publishes a series of fact sheets entitled “Psychology Works” which describe different psychological conditions affecting various populations.

Their brief online fact sheet “Depression Among Seniors” gives an overview of symptoms, risks and outcomes, an explanation for why depression is often overlooked in this population and possible psychological interventions that can be considered for elderly patients/residents experiencing depression.

Diabetes and Dementia

Guidance on Practical Management

A health care research team in the U.K. (TREND UK) has put together a guidance report which may prove helpful for caregivers of people effected by both diabetes and dementia in Canada.

 

"This guidance has been developed to highlight the importance of recognising the relationship between diabetes and dementia, the impact one condition has on the other, and maximising the benefits and safety of diabetes treatments while minimising risks. It is intended to serve as a helpful resource for carers and health care professionals working in nursing and residential homes, carers and community nurses working with elderly people living in their own homes, and for commissioners and designers of services."
