  • Repost - Is Dementia a Mental Health Issue with Dr Liz Price
    Jun 5 2024

    Julia is hard at work chatting to a new slate of guests, but for now she want to share one of her earlier episodes so that those who missed it the first time can learn from the inspiring Dr Liz Price.

    In this enlightening episode of "Dementia Caregiver's Corner," your host, Juliah Ratladi, talks to Dr Liz Price Lecturer in the Faculty of Health Sciences and School of Psychology and Social Work at the University of Hull.

    Liz worked for many years with people living with enduring mental health problems before training as a social worker. She then worked as a specialist social worker in dementia care, with a particular interest in the ways in which the condition is experienced by, and impacts upon, LGBT people.

    Juliah and Dr Price have a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges of providing care to people with dementia, and those who care for them.

    Go into detail about what the many different conditions that we call ‘dementia’ are, as well as examining the stigmas that those who live with dementia are burdened with all over the world.

    Join the movement to make a difference, one conversation at a time, on "Dementia Caregiver's Corner."

This is so needed

I'm only on the second podcast, but I really love this! I am caregiver for my husband, with dementia. I have been so wishing for support, because I feel all alone out here. I can relate to everything expressed here. We live on a mountaintop in central California. This is mostly a blessing, because my husband gets disoriented around other people.

I did not realize, until we bought our home, that he had dementia that had started developing probably a decade before. I didn't notice it, because I was the breadwinner, and I was running my retail store, keeping a roof over us. He was a prolific pen &ink artist when we met, and he gradually lost interest in drawing. This should have been my first clue. I thought he was just becoming lazy.

I think others may have noticed a change, but no one actually talked to me about it. Anyway, this is an excellent podcast. Thank you!
