Loss of loved ones and social contacts combined with decreased mobility, health and financial problems, and entrenched negative thinking all contribute to age-related depression in seniors. Too often, the symptoms go unrecognized and untreated, leading to further withdrawal and isolation and feelings of helplessness and resignation. The authors have put years of practical experience into this workbook that can help older adults come to terms with their feelings and develop the skills needed to turn a negative mood around, deal with underlying problems, and reconnect with others around them. Readers learn how to set goals for feeling better physically with nutrition and exercise, improve their daily functioning, evaluate available medication options, deal with anxiety, make important social connections, build self-esteem, overcome the grief and sadness and find enjoyment once again in life.
