Generally, the rate of depression is twice as high among the elderly than adults.(1) From research in America stated that approximately 10% to 15% of all over the age of 65 years and living in the community show symptoms of depression. While the elderly who are in institutions (orphanages) show rates of mild to moderate depression between 50% to 75% which attack the elderly with long-term care.
