Dr. Catherine Madison: What is Anosognosia and Why Does it Matter in Dementia Care?
September 19 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
Free
On Thursday, September 19th, at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center’s Dr. Catherine Madison joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss how patients experience anosognosia in dementia, which is a neurological condition in which you are unaware of having a particular disease. She’ll explain how understanding this symptom can help caregivers step into dementia’s reality.
Madison became a neurologist after being a caregiver to her mother, who died of dementia in 2011. She worked with Dagmar Dolby to open the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center in San Francisco in 2014. At this center, she provides support for the individuals and families navigating a dementia diagnosis. In particular, Madison focuses on providing education to the community around dementia planning and care.
