How to help someone who doesn’t believe they have dementia

Summary by tonkawanews.com
Family caregivers often ask, “how do you tell someone they have dementia?” And in some cases, the answer may be that you simply can’t. Damage in the brain can cause people with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, stroke, brain tumors, and other cognitive impairments to believe that there’s nothing wrong with them. When that happens, it’s called anosognosia. The word literally means “to not know a disease” and it’s much more than being in denial.
