Age Discrimination In Healthcare-Untreated Depression

Age discrimination in medicine is real and it can affect someone you love. Our society holds physicians in high regard. People tend to trust a doctor for a lot of reasons, one of which is the extent of their education. But they’re human and they certainly make mistakes. We are hopeful that with artificial intelligence, there will be progress over symptoms ignored or overlooked, as multiple sources of information can be immediately available. But meanwhile, we see all too many errors, particularly with aging adults who suffer from depression. Symptoms are frequently not addressed.
