  • Summary

  • In Australia, geriatric depression is an often overlooked crisis, with estimates indicating up to 50% of seniors in aged care facilities suffer from significant depressive symptoms. As our population ages, addressing this pressing issue becomes crucial for improving the quality of life for older Australians and ensuring they receive the mental health support they need.

    In this episode of The Round Up, host Dr Elissa Hatherly talks with Dr Alok Rana, a psychiatrist specialising in geriatric depression. They discuss the challenges faced by clinicians in identifying and addressing mental health issues within this vulnerable population and how to spot the signs and symptoms that may present differently from younger patients.

    With practical insights and a compassionate perspective, this episode aims to equip clinicians with the tools to better understand and support their elderly patients in navigating mental health challenges.
