Depression is a common psychological problem among the elderly and can negatively impact their quality of life. Elderly individuals with depression tend to withdraw from social settings, experience emotional disturbances, and decline in mental well-being. The results of this study indicate a decrease in depression levels in the elderly after participating in group counseling using the dhikr method. Therefore, it can be concluded that group counseling using the dhikr method is effective in addressing depression in the elderly at the Mawar Palembang Integrated Health Post (Posyandu Mawar Palembang). This study is expected to provide an alternative counseling service for the elderly and provide a basis for consideration for health workers and counselors in addressing depression in the elderly.
