Depression
Symptoms and Diagnosis
A
doctor can rule out medications or another medical condition as the
cause of the depression by doing a complete physical exam,
interview, and lab tests. If these other factors can be ruled out,
he or she may refer you to a mental health professional, such as a
psychologist, counselor, social worker, or psychiatrist. Some
doctors called geriatric psychiatrists are specially trained to
treat depression and other mental illnesses in older adults.
