Dementia Untangled

Losing Touch with Reality (with Dr. Alvin Burstein)


Listen Later

Dementia can lead to a host of cognitive challenges, including disorientation and confusion. Among these symptoms, delusions—false beliefs that are strongly held despite evidence to the contrary—are particularly distressing for both the person diagnosed and their loved ones. We welcome Dr. Alvin Burstein, a psychiatrist renowned for his work in dementia care and mental health, to help us explore the complex interplay between dementia and delusions. Whether you’re a caregiver, a family member, or simply curious about the intersections of mental health and cognitive disorders, this episode promises to provide valuable perspectives and practical advice.
