The association between certain diseases and particular periods of life has been studied since the 19th century, yet attempts to delineate categories of mental disorder unique to old age have floundered over the decades, and the debate continues unabated. After an historical overview, this book looks at differences between early-onset and late-onset disorders. Is there anything special about old-age depression?
