What to Expect After a Dementia Diagnosis
A dementia diagnosis can turn one’s world upside-down. But you’re not alone.
Around the world, 55 million people are currently living with dementia, and it’s growing increasingly prevalent. In the United States, 3 out of every 100 people aged 70 to 74, more than one out of every five adults aged 85 to 89, and one in three adults aged 90 and older are living with this degenerative brain disease.
To help patients and their loved ones navigate a recent dementia diagnosis and understand what to expect and what the options are for care and treatment, the Being Patient editorial team — with input from the field’s leading scientific experts — has developed this interactive guide.
