Plain-language summary
This study seeks to determine the feasibility and efficacy of a Problem Solving Therapy intervention for the treatment of late life depression (LLD). Participants diagnosed with LLD will participate in 8 weekly sessions of Problem Solving Therapy, a form of talk-therapy, over a period of eight weeks. A Case Manager (CM) trained in this therapy will lead the PST sessions. Participants will attend a clinical assessment pre and post study intervention to assess depression severity, quality of life, anxiety, insomnia, functional disability, and participant's acceptability of the intervention. Additionally self-rated depression will be collected weekly over 8 weeks.
