Depression can be cause by many things such as financial issues, relationship problems, family problems or an individual just may not be happy.

Friends, unlike the family, can provide different perspectives and different ways of caring for an individual that family or parents are not use to or may not be aware of.

According to Ruppel, Jenkins, Griffin, & Kizer (2010) people’s judgements about the elderly are tainted because people tend to believe that they are not depressed but rather that they are just old.
