About the Course:
Depression and dementia are common incapacitating diseases in old age. The exact nature of the relationship between these conditions remains unclear, and multiple explanations have been suggested: depressive symptoms may be a risk factor for, a prodromal symptom of, or a coincidental finding in dementia. They may even be unrelated or only connected through common risk factors. Multiple studies so far have provided conflicting results. The objective of this review is to determine whether a systematic literature review can clarify the nature of the relation between depressive symptoms and dementia. Methods, results, and conclusions are presented.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Depressive Symptoms in the Elderly- An Early Symptom of Dementia? A Systematic Review created by Wietse Wiels, MD, et al. in 2020.
