Depression is one of the most recurrently investigated psychological disorders within the area of medical R&D (Montorio & Izal, 1996). A number of exhaustive researches have been carried out to study its symptoms and impacts on different patients belonging to different personal and professional attributes and most of these researchers depicted that depression in the elderly people is very frequent and in spite of number of researches in this context, it is often undiagnosed or untreated. To add to this jeopardy, it has also been estimated that only 10% out of the total depressed elderly individuals receive proper diagnosis and treatment (Holroyd et al, 2000). And for that reason, an authentic evaluation of depression in the elderly people comes up with a challenge because as per their psychology, there are greater chances that they may disagree with the verity that they are depressed regardless of having apparent classic symptoms of depression.…

Scientific evidence reinforces the influence of supportive family relationships and correlates family support with positive patient outcomes. Alternatively, chronic disease is not only a stressor for the patient, but also for the family. This fact requires that nursing provide interventions to the family as well as the patient to ensure positive health and well being. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the nursing interventions of education, support and acting as an integrator to promote the health of a patient and family dealing with congestive heart failure.…
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a serious condition in which the heart muscle becomes weakened and loses strength to pump blood throughout the body. In an attempt to make up for the loss of blood supply, greater amounts of blood fill the hearts lower chambers. The ventricles expand and, in time, the heart muscle stretches out of shape, or dilates, and becomes even weaker. Most individuals with cardiomyopathy eventually develop heart failure, a condition in which the ventricles are not able to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for oxygen and nutrients.…
Congestive Heart Failure is a disease in which the heart is unable to properly keep up with the amount of blood being sent to the heart. The heart muscle itself, in the case of heart failure, is unable to sufficiently pump the blood away from the heart and to the body to keep up with the incoming deoxygenated flow. This failure to pump blood can build up pressure and cause additional pumping resistance. The decreased cardiac output of heart failure causes the circulation to become backed up, and this is where the term “congested” comes into description.…
Depressive disorder is not a normal part of aging. Emotional experiences of sadness, response to loss, grief and the blues are normal. However, depression that interferes with the ability to function normally is not. There is a low rate of diagnosis and treatment in older adults. Health professionals may mistakenly think persistent depression is an acceptable response to other serious illnesses and coping with the way their lives have changed. Although some elderly people may share this attitude as well, it is not necessarily true. Depression should be treated when it occurs at the same time as other medical illnesses. Untreated depression can delay recovery or worsen the outcome of these other illnesses.…
Depression is very common in Americans age 65 and older, affecting approximately 18% of that particular population. Depression in older persons is typically associated with new dependency on others and disabilities that prevent the person from living the independent life that they used to. Many people in this stage of their lives have probably experienced depression over several episodes within their life, but for many, this could be their first time.…
