Depression in the Elderly by Patricia-Luciana Runcan addresses the growing problem of clinical depression and its impact upon the lives of elderly Romanians. Romania is a nation that seems largely under-represented on the stage of global public health, and Runcan's focus on her native country provides an interesting perspective not found in much of the current literature on depression. The book endeavors to answer why elderly people are more susceptible to depression, and suggests ways in which mental health care to this often neglected population can be enhanced, such as improved cooperation between psychiatry and social services and more tailored treatment options. - Kyle W.
