Abstract:	Depression is an emotional disorder characterized by a dysfunction of the normal brain functioning. In the elderly patients, this pathology is caused by changes occurring in the white matter, in the frontal area of the brain, by cerebral circulation disorder and by decrease of the level of neurotransmitters in the brain, serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine, respectively. The symptoms of this condition generate significant deterioration in the normal functioning of the elderly social and familial or professional life. An appropriate rehabilitation treatment is associated with the improvement of the depressed elder’s life quality, which is why it should commence as early as possible under professional monitoring.
