Recognising Dementia, Depression and Delirium

Dementia … Depression … and Delirium. These are the three most prevalent mental health disorders in older people –

and they share a number of common features which can make it difficult to differentiate.

That’s why a thorough understanding of each condition is vital to ensuring appropriate care is provided to the older person.
