Course overview
The research we are discussing on this 1-hour episode really drives home the complex connection between depression and 3 neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's Disease Parkinson's Disease Huntington Disease Even though depression has a high comorbidity with all of these diseases, you'll learn why it should not be an assumed part of the disease process. Instead, depression should be recognized as distinct and treated. But, here's where it gets super complex: In some cases the medications traditionally used to help treat depression do not work for this population and can be actively harmful. So, OT approaches like environmental enrichment and physical exercise could actually be the front-line defense for helping these patients manage their depression. To unpack all of this, I am so thankful to be joined on the podcast next week with dementia care expert, Rachel Wiley, MS, OTR/L, CDP.
