Discusses how the perception that depression is a 'natural' part of old age, may mean that many older people are not getting the help they need. Looks at the need for specialist services, but those that also ensure older people have access to the full range of mental health services, rather than assuming any treatment must be in the form of medication. Looks at initiatives in Hertforshire and East Kent NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust.
