Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you were there? Do you lose your keys or your cell phone or find yourself searching for a word in a conversation? Are you worried these are signs you may have dementia? While 40 per cent of us will experience some type of memory loss as we age, the World Health Organization says 5 to 8 per cent of people will develop dementia. According to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada 76,000 Canadians are diagnosed with dementia every year and 60 to 80 percent of them have Alzheimer's disease.
Dementia is an overall term for symptoms caused by disorders of the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia.
In this episode of the DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie is joined by geriatrician Dr. Michael Borrie, a world-renowned physician and scientist who has spent much of his 30 year medical career treating and studying dementia with a focus on mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.
