The purpose of this chapter is to introduce readers to late-life depression, the effects and limits of depression treatment, and recent research on methods for reducing depression relapse in older adults. Please note that in this chapter, we use the terms relapse and recurrence interchangeably, as is the case in much of the research literature on older adults. By the end of the chapter, readers should be able to recognize common risk factors for late-life depression relapse and to identify methods for relapse prevention in older adults.
