Risk of major depression in partners of people with Alzheimer’s disease: a national cohort study
In this large national cohort, partners of people diagnosed with AD or all-cause dementia had ~1.5-fold risks of major depression, which remained elevated several years later. Partners of people with dementia need psychosocial support and long-term follow-up for timely detection and treatment of depression.
