Bickford D, et al. - Researchers analyzed data from community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) who had received a current diagnosis of major depression in order to investigate if there exists a link between higher levels of perceived stress and increased self-reported suicidal ideation, independent of depressive symptom severity in these older adults (n = 225). Females constituted 65% of the study sample. According to findings, stress accounted for 12% of the variance. Experts concluded that among older adults with a current diagnosis of major depression, those with a higher risk of suicide-related ideation can essentially be detected via perceived stress.
