Common symptoms: It includes sadness, social withdrawal, changes in sleep and appetite, fatigue, irritability and, at times, physical discomfort with no clear cause.
When to see a doctor? It is important to pay attention when these changes persist or affect the older adult's independence and quality of life.
Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist and the geriatrician are professionals who can support this process. Seeking a timely evaluation promotes emotional well-being in old age.
