Depression is a disease that affects every aspect of an older person's life.
When depression occurs in conjunction with Alzheimer's disease, stroke-related dementia or other types of dementia, it can be very difficult to diagnose and very debilitating if left untreated. Our speaker, Shaukat Jamal, M.D., M.P.A., will explain the difference between depression and dementia, how the two diseases can sometimes mimic one another, and why it is critical to accurately diagnose and treat both illnesses. He is a board-certified geriatric psychiatrist, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Chicago Medical School and is in private practice in Glen Ellyn. He is also on staff with Lutheran Social Services and is a consultant psychiatrist for Metropolitan Family Services DuPage. This lecture, a part of the Aging Well series, is co-sponsored by Metropolitan Family Services DuPage, DuPage County Health Department, Northeastern Illinois Area on Aging, Central DuPage and Good Samaritan hospitals, and College of DuPage Older Adult Institute.
