Understanding dementia and its various forms, such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies, is essential to providing the right kind of support.
Dementia affects memory, thinking and behavior in ways that can be difficult for loved ones to witness.
By educating ourselves about the condition, we can better understand the changes our friend or loved one is experiencing.
This knowledge helps reduce frustration and promotes empathy.
Resources like Australian dementia offer useful information, educational programs and support networks for healthcare professionals and families.
