In today's Family Health Podcast episode, we delve into the complex landscape of dementia, a condition that not only affects individuals directly but also ripples through the lives of their loved ones.
We chat with Dr Abhi Inglis, a Specialty Doctor in Old Age Psychiatry who explains what dementia is, some of the more common early signs and symptoms and how we can best help our loved one.
We also hear from Jayne Sibley whose parents both had dementia and sadly died with this condition. Jayne talks to us about the emotional, financial, and practical burdens carried by those balancing the demands of caregiving with the progression of dementia.
If you are part of the so-called ‘sandwich generation’, caught between caring for ageing parents and supporting your own children, we know this conversation will strike a chord and we hope you take comfort and help from the information and resources signposted in this episode.
