Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that depression can lead to cognitive deterioration over time, including memory problems and difficulty concentrating. Option A is incorrect because depression does not necessarily decline with age; in fact, it may become more prevalent in older adults. Option B is incorrect because while Medicare does cover some mental health treatments, coverage can be limited and may not fully cover all services. Option C is incorrect because depression is often linked to physical illness or pain, and addressing these physical issues can be an important part of treating depression.
