La revisión sistemática de 51 artículos en inglés publicados a partir del año 2000 en las bases de datos PsycNet, Ebsco y Science Direct, revela una alta comorbilidad de depresión en adultos mayores. Asimismo, se observa que los adultos mayores presentaban también enfermedad cerebrovascular, diabetes, Alzheimer y parkinsonismo, con sintomatología similar a la depresión debido al deterioro que provocan. El análisis permitió observar que estas enfermedades pueden anteceder a la depresión sin necesidad de un vínculo anatómico - funcional directo, por cuanto a las implicaciones psicosociales que conllevan. La depresión es también un factor de riesgo para la incidencia de enfermedad cerebrovascular y diabetes.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a chronic disease that primarily affects males and is characterized by progressive physical impairment and, eventually, death. This qualitative study aimed to explore and understand the experience of diagnosis and disease in young people with DMD living in Bogotá, Colombia. After securing approval from the Research Ethics Committee (CEI-ABN026-000311), nine individuals took part of a semi-structured interview, and their narratives were analyzed using thematic analysis. The main topics developed throughout the narratives were: negative representation of the disease; fear; difficulty expressing emotions; the patient-doctor relationship; the wheelchair; the caregivers and coping strategies. We conclude that young people affected by DMD face several challenging experiences that underscore the need for better, more respectful, and compassionate interactions with healthcare providers. Also, their experiences are indicative of a socio-cultural context that needs to become more responsive and compassionate towards young people and disability.
