Yes, medications are commonly prescribed for depression in older adults. Taking into account medical issues, medications, social stresses, etc is always very important in designing a comprehensive treatment plan.

If you are in a crisis, please call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room. All pertinent practice policies are also available
Absolutely! They do respond to treatment better than the younger age groups!
