An article warns about the underdiagnosis of depression in the elderly in Brazil, where approximately 36 million people are 60 years old or older. According to the WHO, 15% of elderly people aged 70 or older live with mental disorders, but many cases go unidentified because symptoms extend beyond sadness, including apathy, isolation, persistent pain, changes in sleep, appetite, and memory. Experts warn that sadness and depression are not synonyms, and that when negative feelings persist for a long time, it is necessary to seek professional help.
