Depression in Later Life (Oxford Psychiatry Library)

Depression affects between 10-15% of older people, making it the most frequently encountered mental health condition in later life. Despite this, the condition is easily missed in clinical practice or not adequately treated.

Depression in Latinos: Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention (Issues in Children's and Families' Lives #8)

Depression ranks as a leading mental health problem among Hispanic immigrants and their US-born children. And a wide array of issues - starting with the widespread stereotype of the “illegal immigrant” - makes the Latino experience of this condition differ from that of any other group. Depression in Latinos consolidates the conceptual, diagnostic, and clinical knowledge based on this salient topic, providing coverage from prevalence to prevention, from efficient screening to effective interventions. In this concise yet comprehensive volume, leading clinicians, researchers, and academics offer extensive research and clinical findings, literature reviews (e.g., an in-depth chapter on the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey), and insights gathered from first-hand experience in clinical practice. Perceptive information is offered on the most urgent and complex issues on depression in this diverse and dynamic population, including: (1) The impact language, culture, and societal factors have on depression and its diagnosis. (2) The most relevant assessment instruments. (3) How depression manifests among Latino children, youth, and seniors as well as in Latinas. (4) The relationship between depression and substance abuse. (5) The most effective evidence-based treatment methods. (6) The efficacy of interventions for depression at the community level. Depression in Latinos is vital reading for clinicians, counseling and school psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and public health professionals interested in providing their Hispanic clients with the most effective treatment possible. In addition, its coverage of the broader issues of access to care makes this volume essential reading for mental health administrators, volunteer/outreach agencies, and policymakers.

Depression und Demenz sind mit Abstand die häufigsten psychiatrischen Störungen in der zweiten Lebenshälfte. Laut umfangreicher Untersuchungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation beeinträchtigen beide Erkrankungen in fundamentaler Weise und sogar stärker als fast alle körperlichen Erkrankungen die Lebensqualität der Betroffenen.

Das beklagte diagnostische und therapeutische Defizit für Depressionen und Demenzen bei alten Menschen ist ein gesundheitspolitisch brisanter und nicht tolerierbarer Missstand. Dieses Buch hilft deshalb Ärzten, Psychologen und allen anderen interessierten Berufsgruppen, die richtigen diagnostischen und therapeutischen Entscheidungen zu treffen.
