Dealing with depression (A5 booklet)
Independent Age booklet exploring how to recognise and manage low mood as we age.
We all feel sad from time to time. But as we get older, changes in our lives, such as bereavement, illness or retirement can make us more vulnerable to low moods or depression. This guide explains what mental health is, and what might make us vulnerable to depression. It also has suggestions on where you can go for help, and things you could try to help yourself and stay well. We spoke to people about their experiences. Their quotes appear throughout this guide.
