About Mind Matters: A Teen’s Journey to Unravel Alzheimer’s
Hi, I’m Allison! Ever since my grandma was diagnosed with Dementia that is likely Alzheimer’s, I’ve been curious to learn more about the disease and how I can help her. Join me as I talk to various people involved in the field to learn more about what Alzheimer’s is, what research is happening, how to better care for those with dementia, and how to help lower your chances of getting it.
In this episode, I talk with Soham, a fellow teen whose grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He shares his experience growing up with that knowledge, and how his family had adapted.
