What is the safest treatment for elderly anxiety and depression?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Love ; presence: Honestly, authentic love is probably the safest treatment for elderly anxiety and depression. Love with compassion, willingness to be present for daily tasks of living, and to hear stories that are on the person's mind. Sometimes professional treatment may also be needed in the form of lower doses of antidepressants, plus supportive psychotherapy.

counseling: Talk therapy can be just as efficacious in treating depression and anxiety as taking a prescription; which avoids pills with their side effects.
