SUMMARY:Diagnostic Challenges and Management of Depression in Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepression is not a normal part of ageing\, yet it affects nearly 50% of residents in aged care and presents frequently in General Practice.¹ This webinar addresses the complexity of diagnosing older patients who often present with somatic complaints or memory concerns rather than sadness.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to differentiate between depression\, delirium\, and dementia—the ‘Three Ds’—using clinical history and evidence-based screening tools like the Geriatric Depression Scale and Confusion Assessment Method.  \n\n\n\nThe session further explores management strategies\, including ‘start low\, go slow’ prescribing principles\, bio-psycho-social care planning\, and when to refer to specialist services. The webinar concludes with an interactive Q&A session to discuss specific clinical challenges.
