In this episode of the Ride to Independence podcast, Dr. Ruthie Suri discusses the intricacies of dementia and its distinction from normal aging. Dementia significantly impacts daily functioning, memory, and mood, unlike typical age-related forgetfulness. Early signs, such as apathy, may often be mistaken for depression, but they progress to severe cognitive deficits and behavioral issues. Dr. Suri emphasizes the importance of proper screening and diagnosis, involving a comprehensive evaluation of medical history and possible reversible causes. Testing early is important and at the Cognitive and Research Center of New Jersey, it's free. , Families are advised to consult healthcare professionals for sensitive discussions, allowing family members to maintain supportive roles.
