Is Dementia A Public Health Priority?

Listen to part two of Jessica's interviews with Radio Talk Show Host of Chatting with Betsy on Passionate World Talk Radio - Betsy Wurzel. Betsy shares her personal experiences of how Dementia affected her life and marriage, which made me wonder. Do you think Dementia should be a public health priority? Betsy shares her response now that she has a new perspective after living through a chaotic experience with her husband, Matt. How can we protect ourselves from becoming another statistic? Rather than focus only on the brain we must focus on what is affecting the brain negatively. Our vascular system, inflammation, and environment are key. The more we can learn from real caregiver experiences, the closer we will be to creating a cultural shift. Dementia, which includes Alzheimer's, is a disease of accountability and we are the only ones that can stop it.
