Task 01: Depression
Depression is a mental disorder that is a common and serious medical illness.
Depression changes the way you think, feel and react. It the considered the most commonly
diagnosed disorder throughout life (McCrae & Khan, 2014). The survey by World Health
Organisation highlighted that 20 out of 2 people suffer from depression issues.
In addition, depression leads a person towards physical and mental issues and it
decreases the productivity of the people not only at the workplace but at home as well.
Depression can be found in people of all ages, but it is most commonly found in the elderly
residing in care homes (Park and Zarate 2019). Different researchers highlighted that the ratio
of elderly people who are suffering from depression at care homes is higher than the elders
who are living at their residence (Gaboda et al., 2011). Therefore, the ratio of depression in
elderly people is high at the care home.
Llewellyn-Jones and Snowdon (2007) highlighted that the reason for
depression in older people is linked with isolation and loneliness. The care home hires staff to
take care of the physical need of old people, but they neglect their mental health. This is the
main reason the people who are living in care homes mostly the issue of depression because
they don’t have any family, friends, or any other activity in which they can engage
themselves to spend their time appropriately (Donovan and Blazer 2020).
Another reason which leads the elderly people towards the depression is a lack of
physical exercise. The staff members of the care home don’t spend time with elder people nor
do they take them for walking or other physical activities that help them to divert their
attention (Andrieieva et al., 2019). Thus, the lack of physical exercise is one of the most
common reasons for depression among old people. Besides this, sleeping a lot is one of the
main reasons for depression (Silva et al., 2018). When a person will not have any activity to

perform a person will continuously think about his past and the mistakes that have been
committed to him. And the feeling of regret will increase and it leads them to depression.
The next reason for depression among the old people living in a care home is the lack of
family relations. Family helps the person to cure mental illness. The care and respect from our
loved ones become the reason for happiness and their presence keeps away from us all of our
worries (Paque et al., 2018). Thus, the lack of family interaction is another reason for depression
among old people. However, the absence of religion and culture become also the reason for
depression. Man is born a social person if they will stop interacting with others they will become
the victim of many diseases. Researches indicate that social interaction is helpful for a person of
every age group. When a person shares his problem with like-minded people a person feels
relaxed (Wand et al., 2018). Thus, the reason that has been observed for depression is the lack of
family interaction, loneliness, absence of physical exercise, and reduced connection with
friends, culture, and religion. So, the surrounding of a person has a great impact on one's
personality.
In addition, depression among the elder problem is very dangerous because they are
isolated from society they don't have any responsibilities in which they can engage
themselves which leads them to the other serious diseases as well (Craftman et al., 2018). To
overcome the depression of old people who are living at care centers is that the management
should hire trained staff who doesn't only take care of the physical need of old people but,
they are available for their entertainment as well. Old people feel comfortable with the
presence of staff and they create a positive and friendly environment at the care center, and
old people share their problems and feelings with the staff (Borglin et al., 2019).
The staff tries their level best to build a relationship with old people. The staff should
motivate old people to physically engage themselves. The responsibility of the staff is they
