Welcome. About this Site.
This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.
It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.
The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

Thank you, @DementiaCareblazers, for this informative video!
If a person or their carer expresses concern about cognitive changes, my hope is that they are able to get screening with more extensive neuropsych testing as indicated to confirm diagnosis.
Great explanation. Doctors would do their patients a great service to explain this. I am 65 and have memory issues. However, I do not have any functional problems yet. I say that because my father had dementia. I do not know what it looks like. My family wanted me to go get checked, and my doctor did a routine test in the office, but I never heard back from him on this issue.
