What is dementia? Is it inevitable as we live longer that more of us will suffer dementia, or could we live longer lives without getting it?
There are hundreds of different causes of dementia, and this lecture will look at how they are diagnosed and where we are with treatment and prevention. What can you do to reduce your risks of getting dementia, and – if you do get it- what’s the best treatment?
