“Depression: The Many Faces” presented at Saint Anthony’s Adult Day Services this Thursday

ALTON - The hectic pace of life with the added responsibility of being a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia can test the strongest among us. And for persons with Alzheimer’s or dementia, being in the throes of depression can multiply the challenges they already face.

Learn the signs to watch for with Kren Harmon, clinical therapist with OSF Saint Anthony’s Psychological Services, as she presents, “Depression: The Many Faces,” on Thursday, February 26; 1 p.m. at OSF Saint Anthony’s Adult Day Services. The Adult Day Services unit is located at OSF Saint Clare’s Hospital, 915 E. 5^th Street, on the Ground Floor.

“We will be discussing depression and how it affects the elderly. The presentation will also include tips for Alzheimer patients who have depression, as well as their caregivers,” Harmon said. “Depression can affect anyone at anytime. If you know the signs, you will be in a better position to help your loved-one and/or yourself.”
