'Dementia and Depression’ presentation at Bridges by EPOCH

Bridges by EPOCH at Westford will host
an educational session on dementia and depression on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 12
p.m. Bridges by EPOCH’s wellness director, Michelle Cormier, LPN, will lead the
presentation.

Depression is common
among older people who go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease, leading to
widespread speculation that it may be one possible cause for age-related
dementias. But recent studies suggest that rather than being a cause of memory
decline, depression in older people may be an early symptom of dementia.

All are

978-692-9541 to R.S.V.P. or for more information. Bridges by EPOCH at Westford is a new memory care assisted living community
