description OBJECTIVES: Major depression is common in patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure and is independently associated with increased re-hospitalization and mortality. METHODS: Hereby, we report the treatment for an elderly congestive heart failure patient with frequent emergency department visits having major depression and hopelessness. RESULTS: Treatment outcomes measured showed that depressed scores of psychosocial needs were reduced with life review interview therapy in a palliative care day center. CONCLUSION: We hypothesize that multidisciplinary team’s approach to treatment was important for this case.
