Help Me Understand What Dementia Actually Is?
from Age Compass · host Deborah Jane
In this episode, we break down the basics in plain English; from the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s, to why dementia affects far more than just memory. We explore what’s happening inside the brain, how different diseases cause dementia, and why symptoms can show up in thinking, behaviour, movement, and everyday life.You’ll learn why dementia isn’t a normal part of ageing, what “probable” diagnoses really mean, and how understanding the condition helps us provide better care, support, and compassion.Whether you’re supporting someone with dementia or simply want to learn more, this is the perfect place to start.Send us Fan Mail
