Upcoming Event:
Treating Late Life Depression with Integrative Approaches
February 23, 2012, 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. EST (1.0 CEU - details below)
Depression is a major cause of disability in late life. It is often recurring and can co-exist with other illnesses. An important consideration in the diagnosis and management of late life depression is whether there is coexisting cognitive impairment, and if so, is the cognitive impairment caused by the depression or due to a coexisting dementia? This presentation will focus on how to make this distinction in clinical practice, the importance of making this distinction, and how the treatment approaches for the two situations can differ.
Expert Speakers:
Burton Reifler, MD, MPH will discuss recent research on the matter and offer guidelines for assessments and interventions.
