Depression in Older Adults, including the toll that
Caregiving can take
Katrina Patrick, PhD, Artemis Institute for Clinical Research
Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that needs treatment. It can interfere with how you feel, think, and accomplish daily activities. Depression is a real illness – not something that you can “snap out of” and it should be treated as a medical problem. It is not a sign of weakness or a character flaw, and it is NOT a normal part of the ageing process. This presentation will review common symptoms of depression in older adults, stressors that can worsen depression (including caring for ill family members), and what you can do about it.
Artemis Institute for Clinical Research conducts clinical research that advances medical treatments, providing the highest quality data in a safe and comfortable environment. Artemis was founded on being Principal Investigator and Patient Focused, as well as a commitment to the intensive training of clinical research staff.
