A Book Review by Dr. O
I became a Geriatric Psychologist in the UK at a time when you could count the number of such psychologists on one hand; on the other hand, you would have enough fingers to count the number of Geriatric Psychiatrists. The body of knowledge then available on elderly people was minimal, and our treatments reflected this. It really is good to reflect on how far we have come in the last 30 years, and Dr. Valentin Bragin’s book Conquering Depression in the Golden Years (Practical Guide for Older Adults)
Dr. Owen James, is a registered and licensed psychologist in the province of British Columbia (CPBC #1070 )where he has been a practicing psychologist since 1992.
Dr. Valentin Bragin uses his forty-plus years of experience to give readers easy-to-access information about depression and its effects on the body, and how to combat the disorder — providing proven coping mechanisms and exercises, both mental and physical, and allowing seniors to begin living depression-free lives.
When left untreated, depression becomes a deadly disease. It damages the functioning of every organ and shortens lives. But there is hope.
Based on science and years of clinical testing, Dr. Valentin Bragin provides a proven program for geriatric patients to recover from depression.
