Asking the same question, over and over again. It’s not called getting old, it’s called getting ill. Support and information about a dementia diagnosis is just a phone call or a click away. Visit bit.ly/3L2QUgA or call 0333 150 3456 today. #DAW2022

Dementia is caused when diseases (such as Alzheimer’s disease) cause nerve cells to die, damaging the structure & chemistry of the brain. In different types of dementia there is damage to different parts of the brain, so the symptoms experienced will differ for everyone.
