Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia

This program will consist of three sections. The first 30 minutes will be an overview of Alzheimer's and dementia, including an overview of the relationship between Alzheimer's disease and dementia, what happens to a brain affected by Alzheimer's disease, the risk factors and stages of the disease, as well current treatments available and what is on the horizon for Alzheimer's research. This will be followed by a short film titled "Lousy" which follows a son's journey caring for both of his parents who have some form of dementia. We will end with a panel discussion including Frank Silverstein, Director and Producer of "Lousy;" Dr. Mirnova Ceide, Geriatric Psychiatrist from Montefiore Center for the Aging Brain; Meg Boyce, Vice President of Programs and Services for the Alzheimer's Association, Hudson Valley Chapter.
