Description:
Relevance of the work. PSO has reported that less than 25% of people with geriatric
depression usually receive the required treatment. The other part of fear of condemning the
public, or not understanding the severity of the disease, chooses not to seek help and treatment
(Kheriaty, 2017). People with geriatric depression grow with age. This may be due to loneliness,
lack of conversation, self-exclusion, separation from the world, lack of family, misery.
(Adomaitienė, 2010) (Kriščiūnas, 2008). Geriatric depression often remains undetected because
the surrounding or the patients themselves do not understand that it is not a symptom of the
disease but geriatric depression (Dembinskas, 2003). The aim. To find out the problems of
nursing patients with geriatric depression in the context of basic needs. Research objectives: 1.
