Our series explores the different variants of dementia from both a scientific and carers viewpoint. Professor Michael Hornberger explains in layman terms, what's happening in the brain to help our understanding of the disease. Fascinating and awful in equal measure.
We also hear from carers looking after loved ones with the disease, as they explain how they first noticed the symptoms and how they cope as the disease progresses. Painful, deeply emotional stories, told here with the sole purpose of helping others who find themselves in a similar situation.
The overriding message being you are not alone and there is help and support available if you know where to look and who to ask.
If I can help, I will and get in contact on 07973 205720, best wishes Neil

It's been very difficult as the disease takes hold and we hope his experiences can help others in a similar position.
Understanding Alzheimer's - Professor Hornberger Explains

The more we can shine a light on this all too common disease, the better we may be able to cope.

Powerful and humbling to listen to - as with all the carers I've spoken to, their love shines through everything.
