Anxiety and depression are two of the most frequently occurring psychiatric problems for older adults. Join Dr. Peter Bongiorno as he explains the differences between anxiety and depression onset in younger versus older adults and explains how the aging brain has been characterized of having excess hypothalamic pituitary adrenal activity that can promote anxiety and depression. Dr. Bongiorno reviews lab testing that is useful to uncover underlying causes of these, as well as both conventional and naturopathic treatments for older adults with anxiety and depression.
