The Difference Between Witchcraft and Dementia with Andrias Mangundu
This episode is a follow-up to our podcast episode on "The Link between Witchcraft Accusations and Dementia with Berrie Holtzhausen." We interview Andrias Musigeni
Mangundu, a registered nurse with the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Namibia. Andrias shares his journey into dementia care, heavily influenced by his experience and friendship with Berrie Holtzhausen, the founder of Alzheimer’s Dementia Namibia. He discusses how dementia impacted his personal life, particularly through his mother's misdiagnosed condition, which was wrongly attributed to witchcraft.
Andrias educates listeners on the symptoms and types of dementia, dispelling myths that often confuse dementia with witchcraft in local communities. He emphasizes the importance of awareness programs, community education, and collaboration with healthcare providers to advocate for proper dementia care. The conversation also explores the societal challenges and the need for early diagnosis and support systems.
Join us as we explore the intersection of healthcare and cultural beliefs, highlighting both the obstacles and the inspiring stories of change in Namibian communities. Gain a new perspective on dementia care and the power of education in transforming lives.
