375: Why Some Dementia Prevention Headlines Can Do More Harm Than Good (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A headline claiming up to 45% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by modifying lifestyle factors sounds hopeful, but Greg and Teepa dig into why it can also be misleading and even harmful. They explain how prevention framing can slide into shaming and blaming a person for brain change that was likely underway long before anyone noticed.

Read excerpt
When an article promises so-called tricks to get a person living with dementia to eat, bathe, or go to bed, Greg and Teepa stop to question both the word and the mindset behind it.
