“The Aging Brain: Combatting Dementia Worry” talk was started by AgingME’s Project Director, Susan Wehry M.D. in 2023, and she has given the presentation more than 20 times across the state of Maine. This presentation on the aging brain provides an overview of what is part of normal aging and what may be early signs of dementia. This presentation will address the “dementia worry,” or anxiety that order adults may feel and steps you can take to stay healthy and reduce risk, as well as tips for living well with dementia.
