concepto de vejez, se describen los cambios que se asocian a esta misma, y los factores
de riesgo que contribuyen a la depresión en personas mayores. Se incluye una revisión

este trastorno, la Terapia Cognitivo Conductual (TCC). Finalmente, se describe la
Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) y se revisan las aplicaciones y los
resultados obtenidos con personas mayores que presentan depresión.
