Abstract: Cognitive impairment often coexists with depression in older individuals, leading to increased risk of hospitalization, functional decline, and dementia [1]. Despite the heightened risk of dementia in patients with depression and cognitive deficit, current treatments for late-life depression are extremely limited. Older individuals are less responsive to antidepressants compared with younger individuals, and pharmacological treatment often encounters challenges due to adverse effects and polypharmacy.
