Fantastic, informative article! If you experience increasing forgetfulness, difficulty communicating, planning/problem solving, or anxiety, consider talking to a doctor. These could all be early signs of dementia. While there's no cure currently, an early diagnosis can drastically change the remainder of your life! #Dementia #AlzheimersDisease #AlzheimersDiseaseMonth

ER Physician Helping Dementia Family Caregivers Achieve Peace of Mind in Their Decisions | Educator, Speaker & Advocate | Let's Connect and Build a Positive Network
Dementia Myth #2… Just because a person has been diagnosed with a disease causing dementia does not mean they have lost the ability to make their own decisions. Their capacity to do so should be watched over time, especially when it comes to medical decisions. I teach a way to look at a person’s capacity for making these decisions (which are a complex task for the brain) inside of a free “Medical Decisions & Dementia” video guide. You can sign up for it here: https://lnkd.in/gcANzzCJ #Dementia #DementiaAwareness #DementiaCaregiver
