The Truth About...: Dementia

INHALT

In the first of three documentaries focusing on health matters, Angela Rippon, who lost her mother to Alzheimer's, presents the latest scientific research about dementia - of which Alzheimer's is the most common form. She undergoes tests to see if she has any early signs, learns some surprising ways that may help prevent dementia and visits a number of people living with the disease. She also meets families that carry a gene for early onset Alzheimer's, discovering how they could be the best hope of finding a cure for this devastating disease.
