ABSTRACT:
Depression is a common mental disorder in old age, negatively affecting health and quality of life. Although it is not inherent to aging, it is often underestimated by healthcare professionals and family members. Among the associated factors, loneliness stands out as a significant psychosocial risk, involving emotional loss, social isolation, and the absence of meaningful bonds. This chapter aims to examine loneliness as a risk factor for emotional illness in older adults, through a bibliographic review.
