“How does dementia alter an individual’s perception of the world?” Dementia is a disease that affects not only the person afflicted but also profoundly impacts those around them.
For humans who live with their past, the loss of memories may be far more terrifying than one can imagine. As trite as it sounds, “What is truly precious does not change.”
