Pop Culture RX: Staying Sharp with Alzheimer's: Musical Legend Tony Bennett
Manage episode 374916210 series 1255000
Bennett's passing in July 2023 marked the end of a musical era. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's seven years prior, Tony still lived The Good Life, and defied the odds by continuing to perform and connect with his music. Unlike many Alzheimer's patients who lose their abilities, Tony remained special, recognizing friends and family and even recalling lyrics for his performances. We sat down with Rehan Aziz, M.D., a geriatric psychiatrist, to explore Alzheimer's disease, discussing the typical cognitive challenges patients and caregivers face.
