Alzheimer’s, #114

What does it mean to lose one’s mind? To become someone unrecognizable to our loved ones and peers? Today’s guests, unfortunately, have witnessed this scenario firsthand. They have seen family members transformed by the brain illness Alzheimer’s. As individuals who have relied heavily on their own brains in creating a livelihood for themselves, they offer compelling perspectives on what it means when that is no longer possible. We hope we are able to give your mind something to ponder as we speak with Tess Gerritsen and Leon Duff. Thank you for joining us. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2013/11/alzheimers-114/
