Show Notes

In this episode, I explore how perspectives about dementia have evolved over time. Dementia, once viewed as a divine punishment is now being treated with the utmost care thanks to modern medical and societal advancements. But it took a long time to get to this point; we find out the key milestones involved. 

Stay tuned for more dementia related explorations, breakdowns and interviews- please follow the Dementia Research Project wherever you listen to podcasts!
