Around 50 million people worldwide have dementia. While it is a prevalent condition affecting nearly 10 million people every year, it is still shrouded in mystery. Similar to most mental illnesses, dementia remains a taboo, attracting stigma and dismissal. With an aim to increase awareness and empathy for dementia patients and caregivers, we present this video on keeping hope alive during dementia care.
Dementia affects entire families. We found that caregivers often feel overwhelmed and stressed. Maintaining hope as loved ones become strangers, is tremendously difficult. However, studies show dementia patients manage to recall memories in short bursts. Despite - because - of their rarity, it may even be more precious than before. Dementia is like a second childhood. And for caregivers, it is a call to nurture the ones who nurtured us.
