🧠 Myth or Fact? 🧠 Dementia only affects memory. MYTH. 💡 Fact: Anything your brain controls can be affected by dementia. Memory loss is common, as are changes with a person’s language, communication, judgement, problem-solving, decision-making, behaviour, mood and more. BUT, this doesn't mean your person isn't still them. Be patient and remember, you're not alone.
