In this original What the Dementia episode, we will discuss and correct five pervasive misconceptions about dementia that often lead to confusion and misunderstanding among caregivers.

This episode will cover:

— Debunking the myth that dementia is always a genetic condition.

— Clarifying the relationship between memory loss and dementia and the multi-faceted nature of the syndrome.

— Addressing the misconception that dementia only affects older adults and is part of normal aging.

— Explaining why not all forms of dementia are neurodegenerative and the importance of proper diagnosis.
