Dementia is a general term forloss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. I have a relative that developed Lewy Body Dementia in the past 18 months and another that has just been diagnosed withPosterior cortical atrophy (PCA), also known as Benson's syndrome, which is a rare degenerative condition in which damage occurs at the back (posterior region) of the brain. So many of us have family members that are affected by dementia which in turn has an impact on us. I have chosen an article for your review this week that at least offers a little hope for those struggling with cognitive impairment and to the caregivers that are a part of their lives.
