Abstract: This literature review explores the relationship among psychological needs, depression, and life satisfaction in the geriatric population, with a particular emphasis on studies from the Philippines, Southeast Asia, as well as global perspectives. Through an analysis of empirical studies, the patterns that highlight the profound importance of basic psychological needs in influencing elderly well-being and quality of life are explored. Furthermore, the review shows the prevalence and implications of depression in the elderly, showing both the determinants and consequences. Moreover, the review explores the multifaceted determinants of life satisfaction in the elderly, which includes socio-economic, psychological, and physiological factors. By integrating insights across these three domains, this review provides some understanding of their interplay in shaping the well-being of the elderly. The findings stress the importance for stakeholders to consider these factors in policy-making, care provision, and geriatric interventions.
