Depression and Aging
Postponed to Saturday, May 7, 2016

Depression in seniors is common, but it is not necessarily a normal part of aging. This workshop explores the prevalence of depression as we age, distinguishes between depression and the normal aging process and discusses strategies to combat depression, including various effective treatments.
This workshop is designed to help participants begin to:
- Discuss the causes of depression in the senior population.
- Compare and contrast the various treatment modalities.
- Apply and explore the effective treatment modalities through case material.
