Q: What is the best treatment for depression in elderly females with severe osteoporosis?
concern is about side effects and overall appropriateness of zoloft which has been prescribed for her.
A: You can enter all her meds into this and it will check for possible drug interactions. http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html If her doctor is aware of all the meds she is taking, he should know if there are any interactions expected. A pharmacist can also give this information. As for the question on what the best treatment for depression is, everyone is different and reacts differently to different meds. The only way to know is to try. I responded well to Paxil, but my daughter did not. One poster on here responded well to Prozac, but my sister-in-law developed dangerous thought patterns with it. Everyone is different.
Q: How to increase chances of getting into the UK police, at 18?
I help out at cubs, and i have tried to apply for police cadets, see if i am allowed to apply soon.
I also have an expired live saving certificate(will renew soon)
I also have an expired first aid, from st johns, and will renew that soon too.
I have had alot of family issues, not affecting me, but i know about depression, elderly problems…etc etc.
I have decent, not brilliant, but decent GCSE’s
I regulary attend the gym, and my fitness is average, and improving!
I am quite strong person aswell.
I will be learning to drive at 17.
What else is there i can do to increase my chances of getting in?
A: Hi there-
from what you have said so far you are doing all the right things to build up you CV and help you stand out from the other candidates. For example, attending clubs and keeping yourself fit will go a long way to supporting your application.
The biggest thing you can do to increase you chance of success is to learn the core competencies of a police officer. If you do not demonstrate these core competencies at every stage of the recruitment process then you are likely to fail. Currently 65,000 people apply to be police officers in the UK every year and only 6,000 are successful.
The core competencies are the key characterstics of a police officer and you need to show the recruitmet team that have these qualities are are as follows:
1.Community and Customer Focus
2. Effective communication
3. Personal Responsibility
4. Problem Solving
5. Resilience
6. Respect for Race and Diversity – this one is key – get a D grade for this an any point during the whole application process and its an automatic fail – and wait for 6 months before you can appy again
7. Teamworking
You need to demonstrate these during:
- the application form stage
- the role plays
- the written tests
- the final interview

Q: Depression in the elderly?
I have noticed recently that my 88 year old grandmother is more silent – - – - maybe getting depressed. She lives with my aunt and other than being homebound much of the week, she has a good life with family that comes to see her often. She’s treated like a queen so I don’t know exactly why she seems depressed, but I do sense it. My mom told me today that grandma had a dream last night of a special hymn that is sometimes sung at funerals. My grandma indicated that maybe it was God’s way of telling her it was time to go soon. Well, this just tears me to pieces. Do you think she really had a vision that might come true, or do you think it is just coincidence and related to the depression. And can depression lead to the elderly dying in their sleep?
A: My friend’s mom is 96-years-old, and until she broke her hip was living the same life she always had. When she needed to go into the hospital, and then a nursing home, she became depressed–she wanted to be home!
She, too, had friends and family both at home and in the hospital and nursing home. She thought that she read her own obituary in a large-print book that one of her daughter’s bought her. The next day, no one could find an obit. of any kind in that book. That was 2 years ago, and she’s still going strong.
Q: How to treat depression in my elderly cat?
Last October my baby boy kitty passed away at age 13 from cancer in his lymph nodes. Our nearly 15-year-old cat was very close to him and I fear she’s entered into a depression. She barely does anything but lay in her bed rather unresponsively and her usual begging for food at mealtimes. She used to be a pretty vocal cat but doesn’t meow to greet us anymore. She’s lost weight and her spine has become more protruding. We took her to the vet a month ago to treat a urinary tract infection and they said her liver function was fine and such (we had some blood work done), so since she’s relatively healthy physically all I can think is that she’s depressed because of Sandy’s passing.
I tried looking up answers on google, but they all were for depression relating to boredom and such, saying that I should play with my cat more and make sure things are stable around her. Well Muffin is elderly and doesn’t really play anymore and I can’t bring Sandy back…so I don’t know what to do. Ever since Sandy pass she doesn’t purr nearly as much or as easily.
Homeopathic solutions would be preferred to having to take her to the vet for an anti-depressant.
Thanks for the help,
`Amanda
We have one other cat in our house that is about the same age as Sandy was. Her and Muffin used to be sort of enemies but due to Sandy’s death they’ve become pretty close. We did get a new male cat and he’ll sleep next to Muffin. In fact when we first brought him home poor Muffin thought he actually was Sandy and immediately started licking him, then stopped abruptly and hissed. She’s gotten closer to our new cat, but he’s rather fidgety while Sandy was lazy so it’s not quite the same.
A: My siamese acted the same way when his best buddy passed on due to cancer.
Brush her. Physical contact is one of the best things to help bring them around. Be gentle, whisper to her, they pay more attention to whispers. Do extra contact daily, offer small bits of food. The brushing and talking are the best. It’ll still take at lest a week to get them over it (my Siamese took over a month) but it can be done. They have to know you care and will go out of your way to be near them.
Q: PLEASE HELP! What are some arguments i could make with the elderly?
I have to do a presentation on the increase of isolation and depression within the elderly and i chose to branch it off into The healthcare system, the education they recieved at the time, and the income and pension plans. What arguements could i make in each of those categories? PLEASEEE HELP!
A: The health care system is responsible for a great number of elderly who have depression. The medication is given for a specific purpose; then the patient goes back to the doctor because now they have a new symptom. What happens next? The doctor gives them another prescription. The average elderly person with ANY health issues is probably taking a minimum of 8 medications (excluding any OTC used for self medication such as aspirin, antacid, cold meds., etc.). I know you’re wondering what that has to do with depression. Just think about it. Have you ever been sick for a week? The first few days everyone is rallying around you. After a few days their life takes back over and maybe you’ll get a card or phone call. By the end of the week nothing. That’s how isolation starts. The longer anyone is ill the fewer people they have contact with. Another factor is losing the ability to do simple things for themselves. Let’s say the person was sick for a month. They might get the rare phone call; maybe someone has started coming over to offer assistance like driving them to the doctor. Right away you can see what that person has lost. The ability to drive themselves to an appointment. Due to illness/depression a lot of activities have to be given up. Some temporary and some forever.
OK let’s talk about the education they received at the time. The doctor sees the patient for the first time and is very helpful (time permitting) giving the patient whatever information they asked for. (1) The patient/elderly person may or may not know what kind of questions to ask. (2) The doctor may give them tons of information and the patient is only going to remember about 1/3 of what they heard in the office. (3) The patient puts all their trust in the doctor. They may not realize they have a say in their treatment so they do whatever the doctor recommends. My point is this – they follow the doctor’s recommendations without taking responsibility for themselves. The elderly have been indoctrinated to believe that whatever a doctor says is the law and just mindlessly obey. (4) OK lets say this is a chronic problem. The doctor is now numb to the patient. All they want to do is hand out prescriptions and “fix” whatever symptom is presented. Once that patient leaves the doctor’s office the doctor is no longer overly concerned with that visit because he/she has done what he/she was taught to do in med school.
The elderly’s income comes into play when they can’t afford to go to a reputable/good doctor. Instead they go to the doctor they’ve gone to for generations because they are loyal to that doctor whether the doctor is the right one for them for their current issues.
I can’t speak on pension plans because I have no experience with anyone using their pension for healthcare. Having a pension certainly allows some breathing room if someone has a fatal disease that money ensures better treatment.
In 1983 my brother-in-law was burned 80% of his body with 3rd degree burns. He was in and out of the hospital for 10 years before cancer took his life at the age of 43. His insurance was through the Educational System and covered each and every surgery. I mentioned this because he was still working and had good insurance coverage. Once a person retires their insurance cost is out of this world. Often times the cost of insurance is for a high deductible too. And this brings me back to the initial train of thought. Doctors are dictated to by the insurance company as to the type of treatment the elderly or any patient can receive. Maybe the patient needs a certain med but the insurance company will only approve a generic drug.
Getting old is not for sissies, but when you add in chronic aches and pains, then take away skills the elderly can no longer perform you have a good chance of finding depression. Depression brings isolation for two reasons. (1) the person no longer wants people around because of the way they feel’ and (2) people don’t want to hang around a depressed person. No matter how much you love a person, if they are depressed, it’s hard to be around them for any length of time.
Another area you didn’t mention is how the elderly may feel as if they’ve lost their voice. The average person doesn’t want to sit and listen to an elderly person go on and on about their youth. Progress can be overwhelming to a lot of people. How many elderly people fought push button phones, TV’s, VCR’s, then computers? To this day my mother-in-law won’t fly because she dosen’t trust the pilot (she has upgraded to a push button phone and color TV though – smile).
Good luck with your presentation.
Q: Is it Safe to Assume Obama Won’t Put a Carbon Tax on the Poor & Elderly & Workers in a Depression?
A: Wrong. Obama will tax you any way he can. That is his history
Q: Do you have ideas for classes to teach my nursing home residents?
I am a CNA and wellness teacher in a local nursing home and need help coming up with class ideas. We already do chair exercises, relaxation, meditation and things like that. NO ARTS AND CRAFTS! We have an activities department for that. The classes must be informative such as “Depression in the Elderly Population” and “Financial Tips for the Elderly Population” and must cover mental/physical/spiritual health. Thanks so much for any help you may be able to give.
A: Proper diet and nutrition
Wii exercise
How to have a tea party
Singing lessons
How to play different instruments (ie: drums)
Teach a simple dance
Discuss volunteering (and do some volunteering)
I don’t know if these are along the line of what you were looking for, but they were some of the first that came to mind. Hopefully it helps.
Q: How To Deal With The Depression Of Putting An Elderly Person In A Nursing Home?
My grandmother recently fell in her apt. below us and had to be taken to the hospital. She has dementia and we had 24hr. care for her. She doesn’t remember anything; forgets the time, forgets what you told her seconds ago, forgets that she ate. After long family discussions the week she was in the hospital my family made the decision to send her to a nursing home since she was already out of the house and so that the hospital could handle her transport right there.
This is really taking a toll on my father; her son. He is constantly irrirated, doesn’t like it at all when you have to bring up the nursing home to talk about what is happening now, and just doesn’t seem like himself. Have any of you gone through this? What could we do to make this easier for him and for all of us?
Thanks
I will not give a best answer because all the answers were equally helpful. I’m leaving that up to the voters. Thanks everyone
A: We put my mother in a nursing home due to alzheimers disease and it’s been the hardest thing ever. My whole family has gone into some kind of stress related depression or trauma mode. The guilt is horrendous for your father. He feels as if he has abandoned her as he might abandon an unwanted puppy at the dog pound. Only she’s his mother, and that makes it so horrifying. I can only tell you that it does get better with time. Keep loving your father and be patient with him. Visit your grandmother often and give him the happy reports when you can.

Q: How do families who hunt deal with issues of depression, or onset of dementia in the elderly?
People who hunt obviously have access to firearms which are frequently used to commit suicide. As people get older, or just sometimes for reasons no one understands, one of the family members may not be trustworthy with firearms anymore. How do these families deal with this problem?
I ask because one of my grandfathers had a stroke, he later found my uncles shotgun and more or less went hunting… in the driveway. Fortunately no one got hurt.
On a more somber note, my other grandfather committed suicide with a pistol that he bought despite our family already having removed all his firearms.
I am now suffering from depression, and I don’t want to sell my guns, but I also don’t want to make a rash decision some night. What can I do? I keep them locked up in a nice safe so no one else can get them, but the problem is that I know the combination to the safe (and it can’t be changed).
I ask this question in hunting rather than the mental health category because I think the audience who sees these questions may be better suited to answer this question.
A: If you feel that you cannot safely handle firearms, put them in the safe hands of a trustworthy family member, seek counseling/medication, and then get your firearms back and you are fine. It sounds harsh, but if you decide to kill yourself, you will kill yourself in some way that might not involve a firearm. I went through a period of depression six years ago that did the same thing to me, I had my Ruger Redhawk under my chin and was ready to take the top of my head off (along with a portion of the ceiling). My now fiance stopped me. But then again, I had real world problems: I was broke, I thought my girlfriend (now fiance) didn’t love me, I had no friends. Guess what? I survived, and broke free from my little spell of depression. Seek counseling. Depression sucks (and blows), but it shouldn’t stop your life. You CAN solve it. It doesn’t mean that you are going to kill yourself. Sorry to hear about your depression, but do what everyone else would do… build a goddamn bridge and get over it! Family history effects everything, but you need to jump on the depression.
This really belonged in the mental health section by the way…
Q: in scots law, what would be the sentence for an otherwise upstanding citizen found selling a class A drug?
Pleading guilty. Small amount to fund own habit. Full time carer for elderly relative. Suffers from depression. No criminal record.
A: There will be a few things that will be looked at:
What was being sold,to whom,and for how long? It won’t look good if they were dealing from the house of the elderly relative.
Did the person admit their guilt at the earliest opportunity?
Have they co-operated fully with the police?
Are they making a real and genuine attempt to get off of drugs?
Are they willing to go on a DTTO-drug treatment and training order?
I’m only guessing but i’d imagine they’d be looking at a fine,probation and perhaps community service.Althought jail is an option,as it’s the persons first ever conviction,then the judge may be more willing to use a community punishment rather than a custodial sentence.Then again,they might want to send out a strong message to others and jail the person.
Q: biology in the news?
ok well i had to do a report but im not sure if this leans more toward health or biology. could i use this for my biology report?………..
Lack of Vitamin D Boosts Death Risk
Many people aren’t getting enough of the sunlight-sourced nutrient, researchers say
Printer-friendly version Printer-friendly version
HealthDay
Monday, August 11, 2008
HealthDay news image MONDAY, Aug. 11 (HealthDay News) — Inadequate vitamin D could increase your risk of death by 26 percent, a new study concludes.
Yet many people are not getting enough vitamin D, which the skin makes naturally when exposed to sunlight. A nationwide survey found that 41 percent of men and 53 percent of women in the United States were not getting enough of this vital nutrient.
“The importance of vitamin D may be underappreciated,” said lead author Dr. Michal Melamed, a clinical fellow at Johns Hopkins University. “There are studies that link low vitamin D levels to the development of heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, diabetes, hypertension and different cancers,” she said.
The report was published in the Aug. 11 online edition of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
For the study, Melamed’s team collected data on more than 13,000 men and women who took part in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Levels of vitamin D were collected in 1988 and 1994, and the participants were followed through 2000.
During more than eight and a half years of follow-up, 1,806 people died. Among these, 777 died from cardiovascular disease. Four hundred of these people were found to be deficient in their vitamin D levels.
“Those who had the lowest levels of vitamin D had a 26 percent higher risk of death from all causes compared to those with the highest vitamin D levels,” Melamed noted.
The findings in this study confirm a trend seen in other studies linking vitamin D deficiency to increased risk for breast cancer and depression in the elderly, the researchers noted. Melamed’s group had previously shown that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (circulatory problems in the legs) by 80 percent.
Among other things, vitamin D is essential for maintaining levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body. “Vitamin D may be very important for overall health,” Melamed said.
According to the U.S. Institute of Medicine, people should get between 200 and 400 international units of vitamin D a day. The best way to get vitamin D, naturally, is by being out in the sun.
As little as 10 to 15 minutes of sun a day can give you all a vitamin D you need. Vitamin D is also available in small quantities in foods such as fish and milk.
Whether vitamin D supplements are effective isn’t yet known, Melamed said. “That’s the million-dollar question,” she said.
“I think people should optimize their diet and sun exposure to get an adequate level of vitamin D without taking supplements,” Melamed said. “It may be a good idea for people who are at risk for vitamin D deficiency, including African Americans and people who don’t spend a lot of time in the sun, to get their vitamin D levels checked by their doctor.”
Dr. Michael F. Holick, director of the Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory at Boston University Medical Center, advocates high levels of vitamin D supplements to maintain good health. Vitamin D deficiency is probably the most common medical problem worldwide, Holick said.
“We know that being vitamin D sufficient reduces the risk of having your first heart attack by more than 50 percent, reduces the risk of having peripheral vascular disease by as much is 80 percent and decreases the risk of prostate, colon, breast and a whole host of other cancers by as much is 50 to 70 percent,” Holick said.
In addition, not getting enough vitamin D also increases your risk for type 2 diabetes, Holick noted. By increasing your vitamin D intake to 800 international units a day reduces the risk of developing diabetes by as much as a third, he said.
Holick recommends taking high doses of vitamin D supplements, as well as sun exposure. In addition, Holick recommends taking as much as 1,400 international units of a vitamin D supplement every day.

A: It seems to lean more towards health than biology. For biology, my guess is that you’d need to focus on the biological functioning of the vitamin.
But I think, for a report, it will be sufficient, because it does deal with a biological topic. Medicine is largely based on biology.
Q: Why do people take for granted water and don’t drink it as much when others need it?
I notice people are so obsessed with coke and all this other sh**less drinks that are bad for you. We don’t drink as much water, don’t realise that water is medicine. I was a reading a book called “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water”. Now I appriciate water but I notice other don’t which is sad because we have the resource when others don’t.
FROM the book:
As a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, the author, a medical doctor, believes that he has found chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches, hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and diabetes in the elderly.
According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the body possesses many different thirst signals. A dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of your body’s water needs. He describes a variety of more reliable ones, and helps you learn to understand when your body is calling for water. In this way, he claims you can prevent, treat, and cure a variety of conditions of ill health, at no cost, with what he calls nature’s miracle medicine: Water. The author explains how much water one needs to drink a day to stay healthy, and why tea, coffee, and sodas are not good substitutes for water.
A: Let me tell you, I read this book too, something like 2 years ago, and since than I accustomed myself to drink at least 2 liters of water per day, and sometimes even more.
I hear many times people complaining they are thirsty, and then begin searching for a coke or other artificial drinks.
People exchange water by tea, coffee and other drinks..
Most of them don’t know that coffee dehydrates the body, taking away calcium and body liquids. Others artificial drinks are so unnatural, containing food colors and other chemical materials, that damage the human body.
Our body lacks water, and people think they will complete its shortcome by all those “poisoned” cokes and sprites.
Terrible, what can I say.
