Aggression and violence in dementia are widely discussed but often misunderstood. This article explains how researchers define and measure these behaviours, what the latest evidence suggests about prevalence across dementia types, and why context matters. It also offers practical, reassuring guidance for family carers on what can help reduce risk.
Dementia affects connected brain systems rather than a single isolated area. This post explains how different dementias involve different brain networks, why changes tend to widen over time, and how this understanding supports more inclusive, compassionate responses.
Family history can raise understandable worries about dementia, but genetics rarely tells the full story. This post explains how genetic risk works across different dementias, when inherited forms are relevant, and how to talk about risk in a balanced, compassionate way.
Frontotemporal Dementia is a complex and often misunderstood condition.
When someone receives a dementia diagnosis, it’s natural to wonder what medications might help. This clear, carer-friendly guide explains the main medicines prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, how they work, and what to expect — including advice on other treatments that may support mood, sleep, and wellbeing.
Behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia is a complex and challenging condition that requires patience, understanding, and informed care strategies.
Understanding the genetic aspect of early-onset dementia can be both daunting and empowering.
The genetic aspect of FTD is complex, but ongoing research continues to shed light on how we can better understand, diagnose, and eventually treat the disease.
Frontotemporal dementia is a complex condition that profoundly impacts the lives of those affected and their loved ones.
Brain imaging, particularly MRI scans, is a powerful tool in diagnosing and differentiating types of dementia.
