As we age, the world we live in and how we experience it changes. So does our brain. Join Dr. Brent Forester – clinician, researcher, educator, and author – for a wide-ranging discussion about normal brain aging, dementia and how it effects the patient, their family and friends, and behavioral health issues in the elderly from depression to substance abuse. Dr. Michael Goldberg will moderate the discussion. Dr. Forester welcomes your questions during this discussion. By submitting your questions in advance to [email protected] you can help shape the conversation.
