In this original What the Dementia episode, we will discuss the often heartbreaking experience of someone with dementia not recognizing or remembering the caregiver, which is often a close relative. This is part 1 of a 2 part series.

This episode will cover:

— An exploration of the complexities of memory loss and recognition in dementia.

— Insights into conditions that might influence recognition abilities in people with dementia.

— The emotional journey for caregivers when a loved one with dementia doesn't recognize them.

— Guidance on managing emotions during these challenging situations.

Part 2 | 111 | "They don't remember who I am!" — How Do I Handle It?
