A podcast about dementia, from its slow beginnings to the longer effects on memory and personality.
Starting slowly dementia initially affects people's memory, but then whole personalities are impacted. It is described as an insidious disease and doesn't just affect the elderly.
This is a podcast hosted by Phillip Clark on ABC Nightlife, with Associate Professor Michael Woodward, Head of Aged Care Research and Memory Clinic at Austin Health and Maree McCabe, former Chief Executive of Dementia Australia. They discuss the causes, symptoms and ways to reduce the risk of this disease.
