Abstract

Apathy is a common phenomenon in late age depressions, which has recently become the object of close study. The aim of this study was to compare patients with late-onset depression with and without the apathetic component. The data obtained showed that it is apathy that has a greater effect on the serious conditions in patients, their quality of life and cognitive impairment.
