Develop a patient medication guide for the treatment of depressive disorders for vulnerable adults with dementia

In your patient guide, include discussion on the following:

• Depressive disorder causes and symptoms
• How is depression diagnosed for the vulnerable population of your choice? Why is this population considered vulnerable
• Medication treatment options including risk vs. benefits; side effects; FDA approvals for the vulnerable population of your choice
• Medication considerations of medication examples prescribed (see last bullet item)
• What is essential to monitor labs and comorbid medical issues? Why important to monitor
• Special Considerations (you must be specific, not general, and address at least one for EACH category; you must demonstrate critical thinking beyond the basics of HIPPA and informed consent!): legal considerations, ethical considerations, cultural considerations, social determinants of health
• Where to follow up in your local community for further information
