A slower step and a touch of gray aren’t the only changes that getting older brings. Less easy to see are the changes in how we feel inside. Often feelings of sadness or depression stay hidden or go unrecognized. And too many seniors just don’t realize that there are real things they can do to cope with the impact of depression on their lives.

The many ideas and resources in this book are specifically designed to help you recognize the symptoms of depression and begin to take charge of your life again. It offers you a wealth of techniques and strategies to help you evaluate medication options, overcome grief and sadness, deal with loneliness or anxiety, make new social connections, and begin to find pleasure in life again.
