Overview
Manthorpe and Iliffe consider depression in older adults in relation to, but distinct from, dementia, anxiety, and psychosis. Aimed at health and social care practitioners, the text presents a medical model of depression, which may be used to identify symptoms, make the correct diagnosis, and suggest appropriate treatment. Psychosocial issues such as the support needs of caregivers are also addressed. Manthorpe teaches social work at King's College London, and Iliffe is a Reader at the Royal Free and University College London Medical School.
