As many as one in five older Americans have late-life
depression, which can lead to suicide. In this program from The Doctor Is In, three senior
citizens describe how they have coped with this life-threatening illness. Medical
commentary is provided by Charles Reynolds III, director of the Late-Life Depression
Evaluation and Treatment Center at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine;
psychiatrist Thomas Oxman, of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center; and Lucille
Karatzas, director of Elder Services at Seacoast Mental Health Center. The central
message? Late-life depression is a treatable disease, not an inevitable part of aging. A
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (28 minutes, color)
