How is Dementia Diagnosed. A short discussion.

In previous episodes you discovered that dementia is not a disease. Dementia is a brain disorder that is caused by disease or injury, and there are over 100 causes of dementia. We have also discussed that dementia is very difficult to diagnose. There is no single definitive test for diagnosing dementia in a living person. The only definitive test is at postmortem when brain tissue is examined microscopically. However, today we will briefly discuss how dementia is diagnosed. About me My ...

Driving and Dementia.

2025/02/16

A dementia diagnosis does not necessarily mean that a person with dementia have to stop driving straight away. However, because the condition involves a gradual decline in both cognitive and physical ability, they will need to stop driving at some point. Having the discussion about stopping driving is very difficult, but very necessary, because dementia ultimately reduces your loved one’s driving ability, possibly resulting in a crash causing death or injury. So today we discuss driving and d...

When I was about 10 years of age, people around me did not talk about the ‘C’ word. The ‘C’ was cancer. But today, we as a community talk openly about cancer, and cancer is no longer a taboo subject of conversation. However, dementia is the C word of today. Dementia is not talked about, it’s hidden, and stigmatised, just as cancer once was. Well, you and I are going to change that…… right now... Today you will look at how to fight dementia stigma.

Please think about this… ‘Right now, thousands of children are suffering and dying slowly with dementia and most people don’t know about it’.
