Send a text How can we prevent dementia and if we or someone we love does get it what can we do about it? If you want to know how to prevent dementia or what to do if you or a loved one does get it, listen to my guest this week Dr Sabina Brennan, top neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Me in which she combines her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for her mother with dementia.  Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming.  But there is life after diagnosis. With a human-rights approach that validates everyone's experience and dignity, she reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey. Sabina shares how to encourage a brain healthy lifestyle, what we can do to cope and optimise the caregiving experience, and how we can improve quality of life for ourselves and our loved ones suffering with dementia. Her book Still Me reminds us to shift the focus from the disease to the person, and that our relative, despite the disease, is still there, and that we, as a care partner, are just as important. Sabina shows us that while Dementia can steal many things, it doesn't have to take away the simple pleasures of life. You can find out more about Sabina at https://sabinabrennan.ie/ , listen to her podcast Superbrain, buy her book Still Me at all good book stores.
