3 Many older people and their families dont recognize the symptoms of depression, arent aware that it is a medical illness and dont know how it is treated. Others may mistake the symptoms of depression as signs of dementia(痴呆). Also, many older people think that depression is a character flaw(缺陷)and are worried about being stigmatized(给带来耻辱), so they blame themselves for their illness and are too ashamed(羞耻的)to get help. Others worry that treatment would be too costly.
4 Older persons with depression rarely seek treatment for the illness. Unrecognized and untreated depression has fatal consequences in terms of both suicide and non-suicide mortality
(死亡率). The highest rate of suicide in the US is among older white men. Depression is the single most significant risk factor for suicide in that population. Tragically, many of those people who go on to commit suicide have reached out for help-20% see a doctor the day they die,40%the week they die. and 70%in the month they die。Yet depression is frequently missed.
