Wednesday, January 10, 2018 IST
The findings highlight the importance of detecting the presence of childhood abuse in adults with depression and possibly to integrate this into treatment.
A recent study provides insights on links between childhood abuse and depression in later life.
The research suggests that smaller social networks and feelings of loneliness might be important risk factors for late-life depression in older adults with a history of childhood abuse as well as with an earlier onset of depression.
The findings highlight the importance of detecting the presence of childhood abuse in adults with depression and possibly to integrate this into treatment.
“Apart from the presence of childhood abuse, also the age at depression onset is important to consider in older adults and might give some clues as to which factors are important in treatment,” said Ilse Wielaard, of the VU University Medical Centre, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The study has been published in the journal International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
