Description: "Clinical depression can turn a happy retirement into a time of misery, as well as a wide range of health problems. Moak challenges beliefs that depression is normal in old age, showing readers that depression is a serious brain disease, often related to changes in the brain associated with the aging process. He provides practical guidance and advice for patients and family members about working with healthcare professionals to ensure that sufferers receive effective treatment for their depression and appropriate medical care for their physical needs"--Publisher's description.
