World Alzheimer’s Month: Let’s talk about dementia to end the stigma
Today, as part of World Alzheimer's Month, Paola Barbarino explains why we all need to talk about dementia, highlighting some key findings of the World Alzheimer Report 2019.
“My mother has Alzheimer’s and so do her two sisters, but I had never imagined that this would happen to me. And then suddenly, I started to forget things, to forget my friends’ names, and the things I had to do. I also misplaced objects that I would find days later. I felt frustrated, got mad at myself many times, and wondered what was going wrong with me. At first, my husband Eduardo was angry too. He also could not understand what was going on.”
