ABSTRACT

As adults age, many changes in functioning occur, and dementia and/or depression may develop. Medications used to manage dementia and depression include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The challenge for nurses is recognizing which behaviors, signs, and symptoms are the result of the dementia or depression and which are the result of the drug therapy. The purpose of this article is to present information to increase awareness of the complexities of care for older adults with dementia and/or depression and identify possible implications for practicing nurses.
