[quote=Anonymous]My mom is 87 and has periodic periods of pretty intense depression and anxiety. She talks to a therapist regularly (via telehealth) and also takes an antidepressant, though she also weans off it once she's feeling better. She also lives in a senior living facility that has many daily activities - she usually goes to an exercise class and dinner with her regular group of friends plus one more activity (talks, music, book club etc) every day. I'm not sure what helps the most, but all of these contribute a lot. She also has access to take a shuttle to go to various churches/religious services, but she hasn't been as interested in that in recent years. But if your mom doesn't have social outlets other than family, I think church can be great for the feeling of community and a higher power whatever her particular beliefs are.[/quote]
