It’s unfortunate to say, but a recent international study shows that a good portion of folks in that country are afraid of people that are living with dementia. The problem seems to stem from the term and definition of “demented”. The objective of this week's episode is to help de-stigmatize dementia and start a conversation of why we should increase our awareness and knowledge.
