Conversation with Lisa Skinner: Truths, Lies & Alzheimer's Disease

So many people today are heavily impacted by Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. The Alzheimer's Association and the World Health Organization have projected that the number of people who will develop Alzheimer's disease by the year 2050 worldwide will triple if a treatment or cure is not found. Society is not prepared to care for the onslaught of people who will develop this devastating disease.

My guest is Behavioral Specialist and author Lisa Skinner who is a expert in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. In her 30 years of working with family members and caregivers who suffer from dementia, Lisa has recognized how little people really understand the complexities of what living with this disease is really like. For Lisa, it starts with knowledge, education, and training.

Her latest book, “Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – Its Secret Faces” continues Skinner’s quest of working with dementia-related illnesses and teaching families and caregivers how to better understand the daunting challenges of brain disease.

Please watch as we discuss the complexities of the disease and what a loved one needs to be aware of and how to best navigate the many challenges that one may face.
