Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Anxiety in the Elderly

Abstract

Depression and anxiety are significant problems among the elderly. Due to complexities in the medical management of elderly patients, researchers and clinicians have sought psychosocial alternatives to pharmacotherapy in order to treat depression and anxiety in the elderly. Cognitive-behavioral therapy in particular has been investigated as a promising treatment. Research conducted to date has established that cognitive-behavioral therapy produces significant improvement in depression and anxiety symptoms among the elderly.
