Anxiety and depression are extremely common in the elderly with medical
problems. They can manifest not only as symptoms of a primary psychiatric
illness, but also as physiologic sequelae of medical illnesses and medical
treatments. Recognition and treatment of depression and anxiety in the medically
ill is especially difficult. If these states go untreated, they result in higher
morbidity and mor... hiện toàn bộ
Androgyny and Adjustment in Later Life: Living in a Veterans' HomeJournal of Clinical Geropsychology - Tập 5 - Trang 127-137 - 1999
Nancy A. Greenwood
This study builds on literature that suggests that interaction with friends in
later life is important to the well-being of older adults and other research
that argues that androgynous individuals may have a greater range of social
skills with which to further their adjustment. We apply these arguments to later
life through interviews from a pilot sample of 27 residents in a state-operated

interviewed in a postvisit telephone survey 3–12 months after the truth
disclosure visit. Of th... hiện toàn bộ
