It is common for individuals referred to geriatric psychiatry programs to live alone and have impaired independent mobility, which makes them more susceptible to depression as they are at a higher risk for social isolation. Best practice guidelines recommend using psychosocial therapies, which are effective in reducing symptoms of LLD, as the standard treatment for mild to moderate depression, either alone or in combination with medications. PST can be delivered to patients close to their homes making it ideal for treating seniors with limited mobility. The elderly are more likely to suffer from co-morbid conditions and be treated with multiple medications. Antidepressants are associated with serious adverse events, making psychosocial treatments especially important to the elderly who take more medications and are more likely to suffer comorbid conditions.
