What do you wish others knew about Alzheimer's disease?
Help others understand an aspect of Alzheimer's disease that you wish you knew before you or your loved one was diagnosed, or something that you think the general public should know about Alzheimer's.
Please don't ask "remember when .....". It just reminds them that NO they fo not remember. And give them extra time to think when you ask them a question. It may take a bit for them to process what you are asking.

You cannot change the disgnosis
This is so true. Many people don't understand the nature of the disease and its progression. I think this leads to misunderstandings in my experience. Thank you for your thoughts. Scott Team Member
And people have NO idea unless their spouse has the disease
Experiencing the disease first hand is really the best way to understand it. When you are a caregiver, you live it along with your loved one. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Scott Team Member
