Episode 62: Memory, Medications, & Management: A Deep Dive into Dementia Care


Listen Later

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Amanda Cross to explore an important question of this time: Are we giving too many medications to people with dementia? With more and more people being diagnosed, medication is often seen as the sole solution for managing symptoms and behaviors. But is this always the best approach? 

We’ll talk about the potential risks of overmedicating, how it affects the everyday lives of patients, and whether there might be better ways to care for those with dementia. With Amanda’s insights as a pharmacist, this conversation looks at how we can find a healthier balance between meds and alternative treatments. 

Tune in for a thoughtful and friendly discussion about dementia care and the choices we’re making.
