Home Economics and life environment studies
In Japan, with a declining birthrate and an aging population, there are an increasing number of diseases peculiar to the elderly. Depression is one of them. Because depression is often mistaken for dementia, symptoms may progress without the knowledge of others around them. In particular, the term "senile depression" (not an official name) is also used to refer to depression that occurs in people aged 65 or older. The symptoms of senile depression that people with senile depression feel "absent-mindedness all day" and "lack of energy" can be seen even in the early stages of dementia, so people tend to mistake it for dementia.
The author is Hiroshi Hasegawa, the eldest son of Dr. Kazuo Hasegawa (deceased), a leading researcher of dementia. He is also a professional in this field. It introduces Dr. Hiroshi Hasegawa's points for distinguishing dementia from dementia that he has developed through clinical practice, as well as how to deal with and prevent depression in the elderly, which is different from dementia. It is a definitive edition of mental health for seniors that summarizes in an easy-to-understand way "50 knowledge" based on Dr. Hasegawa's extensive clinical knowledge.
