Amy Kerti of Empátia Specialist Dementia Coaching explains "what dementia is", and the sometimes confusing relationship between Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
She explains how brain diseases cause the symptoms of dementia and how they present themselves to dispel some of the myths and stigma around these diseases in celebration of World Alzheimer's Month, 2024.
Some of the rarer dementias are explained such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD) including Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), and a rare form of Alzheimer's disease called Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA).
