“Everyone feels sad or
blue sometimes. It is a natural
part of life. But when the sadness

not a normal part of growing older. It is
a treatable medical illness, much like
heart disease or diabetes.”
— Geriatric Mental Health Foundation

To honor National Depression

provides information and tools to
promote early recognition and
treatment of depression in older
adults. Learn more and take
