Imagine That You Are a Psychiatric Social Worker at a Local

Imagine that you are a psychiatric social worker at a local mental health facility. You will be trying to interpret recent research on depression to a multi-generational family that is living under one roof, and that you are meeting for the first time. The question of whether older adults more than younger adults suffer from depression seems like an easy one, but it is not. Choose at least one causal factor in depression that is different as it manifests in young versus older adults. Sketch out different everyday scenarios so the family may have a better understanding.
