Depression in Alzheimer's: Uncovering the Overlap
Update: 2025-06-19
Description
On today’s episode, we explore a common but often overlooked challenge for people living with Alzheimer’s: depression. While memory loss and confusion are widely recognized, the emotional impact often goes undiscussed. We’re joined by Dr. Julia Salinas, Geriatric Psychiatrist and Medical Director at Tufts Medicine’s Memory Care Program, to discuss how overlapping symptoms can make a diagnosis difficult, how to identify depression in loved ones living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and how depression is treated to improve quality of life.
