    Protective Role of Cognitive Reserve in Dementia.

    It’s very interesting that some people appear to age with their minds intact while others experience a dramatic slowdown as they age. The brain appears to have a very powerful force within it and has a lot of redundancy built-in – this is known as cognitive reserve. It’s very possible that a continued lifetime of education seems to have a protective effect on the brain and aging. It’s possible that education contributes to cognitive reserve. But what is cognitive reserve, and how can you use it to protect your brain.

    Media Reporting and Dementia.

    The way in which the media reports on dementia is crucial. Both globally and within Australia the media can help shape the public’s perception of dementia. The media does guide community attitudes; it can influence government policy and impact the lived experience of your loved one with dementia.  While media often provides much-needed information, support, and encouragement, there are concerns regarding the frequency of negative media stories and how this impacts dementia awareness and support in Australia and more broadly. Today we will review how the media coverages dementia. About me My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.

    The quality of online Health Information and Dementia.

    Where do you get your dementia information? Google, Facebook, or social media?  Internet articles often use eye-catching and often misleading headlines to grab your attention. This is called clickbait and this phenomenon also infiltrates some healthcare articles. Unfortunately, a lot of internet-based material is misleading, even dangerous; and that’s why it is crucial to examine the quality of health information that is online, particularly on social media because it may be inaccurate – or worse. In this episode you will discover what to ask yourself when you read online health information. About me My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.

    Theory of Mind and Dementia.

    You probably never heard the phrase ‘Theory of Mind’, but Theory of mind is a foundational skill for navigating social situations. You have it, people around you have it, and your loved one with dementia also has it, but unfortunately their Theory of Mind will become compromised and deteriorates over time, and this has a significant impact on them and those involved with their care and support. But what the hell is Theory of Mind and how is it impacted by dementia. Well today you and I will discuss Theory of Mind and Dementia.

    Dementia Age Groups.

    Dementia can develop anytime across your lifespan. Yes, that’s correct.  While it is true that dementia is more common in older adults, and that ageing is the major risk factor of developing dementia, dementia is not a normal part of ageing, and people can develop dementia at different stages of life. By understanding the age groups most affected by dementia this can help with early detection, targeted support, and better planning for care and services. So today we will discuss the four main age groups where dementia develops. About m My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.
