摘要
Depression and anxiety are often reported to be the most common psychological disorders among older adults in the United States. As the population of older Asian American adults steadily increases, mental health practitioners will need to be apprised of the etiological, diagnostic, and treatment issues in working with this population. This article reviews the existing literature on depression and anxiety among older Asian American adults. Little empirical research has been conducted, and more research on the mental health status and needs of older Asian American adults is needed. In addition, improved recruitment of Asian Americans into the health-care professions as well as improved clinical and research training in an increasingly diverse society are imperative to addressing the lack of attention to the mental health needs of older Asian American adults.
