Customer Reviews
Great programme
I really enjoyed the programme on dementia. Both my parents have had this. NEVER tell a family member that it doesn't matter for the sufferer as they won't know what is going on. They DO know that things aren't right, and some sufferers get severe paranoia (thankfully not my parents). Very interesting interview with the brain specialist. Well done.
