85-Year Old Mother's Depression

Posted by JB on February 22, 1999, at 20:26:14

I am convinced my 85-year old mother suffers from clinical depression. In her "heart of hearts," I believe she know it too. However she writes off her feelings to grief eminating from my father's (her husband of 62-years) death in October of 1996. I would bet she has been depressed most of her adult life, but increasingly since 1996. I need help with convincing her that she could feel better by having a candid conversation with a doctor. Any suggestions? Thanks.
