Positive Psychology Interventions for Depression in Older Adults

Quick fact

In older adults, positive psychology interventions—like practicing gratitude or savoring a pleasant activity—not only reduce depressive symptoms but also increase positive affect and life satisfaction, rivaling the effects of some standard depression treatments.

Why this is interesting

Depression is not a normal part of aging—yet many older adults suffer in silence. What if the key to lifting their mood lies not in fixing problems, but in amplifying what already brings them joy?
