About this event

Join us on Zoom for a lively and interactive discussion with a dementia neurologist. Learn about this new era in dementia care detection and treatment and hear how these advancements might impact your life, your loved ones or clients. 

 

This comprehensive presentation will cover all aspects of memory loss including:

 

  • Medications which cause loss and the long term repercussions;
  • How that differs from memory loss due to a stroke or heart attack, at what age is short term memory loss common, forgetting words, social obligations, etc; 
  • What we can do to exercise our brain and keep our memories sharp; and
  • The complexity of memory loss, Alzheimer's vs. dementia, vs. Lewy body dementia.
