Recognizing and Managing Anxiety and Depression in Older Adults

November 14 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

How do we determine whether our loved one is experiencing anxiety, depression or something else? How can we help them determine what is prompting the emotional distress? What are some strategies for helping our parents better understand and deal with their distress? What professional(s) should be involved? This program will help adult-children understand and differentiate between anxiety and depression, recognize the characteristics and potential causes, and offer tips for communicating with loved ones and key professionals to effectively manage the symptoms.

Program Speaker:  Vanessa Schaeffer, PsyD, Clinical Geropsychologist
