Dr. Lydia Grant is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated her career to the mental and emotional well-being of adults over 65. She specializes in distinguishing between normal age-related forgetfulness and early signs of dementia, guiding families through the delicate process of cognitive assessment. Lydia's work addresses the silent epidemics of loneliness and depression in seniors, offering evidence-based strategies to build emotional resilience after the loss of a spouse or career. She champions "neurobics" and active learning as tools to protect brain health, challenging the myth that seniors are too old to learn new skills. Her writing provides a compassionate yet clinical roadmap for navigating the psychological transitions of aging.
