Description
Many changes happen to our brains as we age. What is normal brain health for most older adults? At what age do the changes begin? How do we know if there is something wrong like Alzheimer's disease? Join us for this interactive seminar on understanding typical brain changes that happen to everyone. This seminar will also cover symptoms that indicate a possible reversible or irreversible dementia diagnosis and how to distinguish them from normal age-related brain health. Treatments and coping strategies for dementia diagnoses will also be covered.
