beyondblue the national depression initiative Depression in the elderly However… Major depression rates among older people with comorbid conditions up to 25-36% Prevalence rates of major depression among older people living in residential care have been reported as high as 26%, with rates of depressive symptoms reported as high as 40% High suicide rates identified among older men Ageing population – number of depressed older Australians expected to double by 2021

beyondblue the national depression initiative beyondblue Depression Monitor

beyondblue the national depression initiative beyondblue Depression Monitor Older respondents (aged 65 and over) were less likely to assign highest ratings of disability to depression when compared with younger age groups: 19.4% perceived depression affects 1 in % perceived depression affects 1 in 20 25% perceived depression affects 1 in 50

beyondblue the national depression initiative Prevalence of depression among elderly people in residential care Number of cases Percentage of sample Diagnosis of Depression Major Depressive disorder Minor Depressive Disorder Prescribed antidepressant medication No incidence of depression Total ( Centre for Health Risk Behaviours & Mental Health, Deakin University 2004)

beyondblue the national depression initiative Currently no routine screening for depression in residential care ACAT mini-mental instrument not adequate Research found that depression instruments are valid indicators of major depression, including where moderate dementia is present Need for research into whether the routine use of depression instruments can result in improved outcomes for residents with depression Screening for depression among older people

beyondblue the national depression initiative General satisfaction with health service provider but poor engagement around non-physical symptoms: “He (GP) is a very nice gentleman, but he’s too busy to spend much time with people” “…more interested in the physical parts of me” Poor understanding of illness and low awareness of treatment Poor perception of improvements in mental state following treatment Satisfaction with health services for depression

beyondblue the national depression initiative Low level of literacy in the general population and among health care professionals and older people Chronic under-treatment of depression – older people the most vulnerable Failure to recognise and diagnose depressive symptoms Major depression often untreated or wrongly treated Nihilistic belief that depression ‘is to be expected’ in old age The need for action

beyondblue the national depression initiative Prevention methods proposed: Increasing literacy about depression in old age Improving recognition/diagnosis in primary care Promotion of physical exercise to alleviate symptoms of mild to moderate depression Nutritional supplements Partnerships: Better Outcomes in Mental Health Care - increased training for GPs Potential interventions

beyondblue the national depression initiative Beyond Ageing Project Largest research project into depression and the elderly Will examine whether vitamin supplements, exercise and improving knowledge of depression can prevent depression in older people
