Dementia is a complex and multifaceted condition, and the pain points experienced by individuals with dementia can vary depending on the stage of the disease, the specific type of dementia, and individual characteristics.
Hallmark of this pain point?
Social and Relationship Challenges:
Loss of independence: As dementia progresses, individuals may require assistance with daily tasks and lose some or all of their independence. This can be a significant blow to self-esteem and quality of life.
Strained relationships: Caring for someone with dementia can be physically and emotionally demanding, leading to caregiver stress and strain on relationships.
Stigma and discrimination: Unfortunately, stigma and discrimination against individuals with dementia can still be present in society, adding to their emotional burden.
