Personality study shows risk of first depression episode late in life
Date:4/11/2008

rent study, researchers eliminated people at age 70 with dementia and other psychiatric disorders. In all, the records of 275 people were analyzed. There were 59 cases of first lifetime episodes of depression after the age of 70.

Although we are aware of no research on how people who are highly distress prone manage to stave off clinically significant depression, protective factors might play a role, the study authors state. Candidate protective factors include close personal relationships, rewarding occupations or meaningful hobbies, physical vigor and vitality, economic independence, and spiritual well-being. Processes related to aging might inexorably erode some of these protective factors.

The researchers urge more study of the relationships between personality, age and first lifetime episodes of depression.

This is a particularly important issue for older men, given their high suicide rate in many Western countries, and the observation that they often take their lives in the midst of a first lifetime episode of depression, the researchers state.
