“You don’t look like you have dementia.”
“What does dementia look like?”
This is what dementia looks like!
People who have dementia often describe feeling isolated. They typically don’t know anyone else who has dementia. So much of the public information about dementia focuses on ‘gloom and doom’. There is another side. Learning how others are living with dementia can be a powerful, inspiring and supportive experience.
