2. An Introduction to the 3 D's
In this session, we will review the meaning of each of the terms delirium, depression, and dementia. Additionally, we will highlight common relationships among the three conditions.
3. Understanding the 3 D's - Which Is Which? How Do You Know?
Each of the three Ds has a different pattern on a number of variables. It is essential that the clinician determine which conditions are present, share this information with a medical advisor, and assess and intervene with the person to contribute to their immediate as well as longer term quality of life and well-being. In this session we will review characteristics for each, preparing to determine more accurately which is which in the second part of this course.
