In this episode of Alzheimer’s Voices, Dr. Arnold Beresh—a lifelong podiatrist and surgeon—speaks about his frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Parkinson’s diagnoses, and how they changed his sense of community. He shares his journey transitioning from clinical practice to life after diagnosis, and how discovering the National Council of Dementia Minds helped him and his wife better understand their path forward. In 2022, the organization launched a group called Doctors with Dementia, a unique support network that helped shift Dr. Beresh’s view of support groups from skeptic to advocate. He reflects on how peer support offers a safe space to connect with others on a similar path, free of judgment or shame.
