Focusing on the impact of common stressors on mental health, this study explores how impending forced migration from the Three Gorges Project in China affects depression across different age groups. It challenges the notion that depression in the elderly is a myth by examining the varying responses to shared stressors like natural disasters and economic crises. Aimed at professionals in migration studies and policymakers, the book seeks to uncover age differentials in mental health outcomes when faced with similar adversities.
