As mudanças físicas, sociais e emocionais, associadas às perdas do processo de envelhecimento, às modificações na funcionalidade e às alterações biológicas, propiciam a tristeza, o isolamento e o surgimento de sintomas depressivos, caracterizando a depressão como uma entidade nosológica de caráter multifatorial (Forlenza, 2000;Bottino, 2003).…”
