Alzheimers from the Inside: Fear, Anger, Faith & Healing


Listen Later

Greg OBrien was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2009 and, as an investigative reporter and author, has chosen to share with the world the inside experience of coping with the disease. In his book, On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's, he walks us through an experience that mixes faith and fury. Joining Greg is psychologist Molly Perdue who leads support groups with early onset Alzheimer's clients. Greg is a writer, publisher, president of a political & communications strategy company, and has a blog on the Huffington Post and writes for Psychology Today. Also see some of this story and experience in the video, A Place Called Pluto: Living With Alzheimer's. See & listen to the video of the mother with Alzheimer's speaking with her daughter, here.
