How do you tell when someone is experiencing a ‘senior moment’ and when it might be something more? This session will address the differences between ‘normal’ and ‘not normal’ brain aging. It will also help improve your understanding of the brain changes that occur during dementia, and the important ways in which these structural changes contribute to changes in everyday function. In addition, since dementia and depression/anxiety are often closely linked, you will learn the similarities and differences in symptoms of both conditions.
This self-study program consists of 2.25 clock hours of continuing education instruction. Credit requirements and approvals vary by country and local regulatory bodies.
