"Dementia, Delirium, and Depression: Defining, Differentiating, and Discussing the Three "Ds" Common in Later Life"

 
Presented by: Erika Falk, PsyD, Director, Geriatric Services, Insitute on Aging and Director, San Francisco Elder Abuse Forensic Center

The three most common mental health syndromes among the older adult population may be chronic or acute. It is important to differentiate among these syndromes because they present in similar ways and thus can be misdiagnosed. If these mental illnesses persist without accurate intervention, they can greatly impact our clients’ quality of life and may even be life threatening. By understanding the similarities and differences among these conditions, we are in a better position to help our clients obtain the necessary treatment.
