HDEV 361 Psychological Aspects of Aging
Growing older is not synonymous with psychological regression. Wisdom, creativity, and the plasticity of the brain enable aging individuals to function well throughout their lifetimes. This course will examine the elements that sustain psychological health as well as those conditions that influence its decline. In addition to healthy psychological aging, there will be a focus on dementia, neurological disorders, neuro trauma, and mental health disorders as they impact older adults and their caregivers.
