S02_E16 - Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia, and more particularly, Alzheimer's Disease is a condition that affects many people and their loved ones the world over. But what is it exactly? How is it detected and diagnosed? Is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk? And are there effective treatments for it?
There are a lot of questions when it comes to the topic of Dementia, and many we still don't have exact answers for. But as with anything in medicine - the more general awareness and knowledge we have around the subject, the better for all of us. In Episode 16 of The Healthy Matters Podcast, we'll be joined by a world-renowned expert on the subject, Dr. Anne Murray of Hennepin Healthcare, to help shed some light on this very important topic. She's a geriatrician and a researcher in the field of dementia, and will help guide us through the basics of the condition, what is known to be helpful and harmful to us as we age, and what the future looks like for those affected by this condition. Please join us.
