Demystifying Depression in Older Adults
While not a normal part of aging, up to 20% of older adults have symptoms of depression. These rates increase to 40% for those in hospital or living in long-term care.
Join psychiatrists Drs. Sophiya Benjamin and Anthony Levinson for an enlightening webinar that aims to demystify the complexities surrounding late-life depression, exploring its causes, symptoms, and the unique challenges it presents, such as the impact of coexisting chronic illnesses. You’ll learn about how depression is assessed and diagnosed, as well as treatment and management strategies, including preventative measures and helpful resources.
