Cognitive exercises play an important role in delaying dementia
Dementia is a mental health condition that can take away one’s liberty to live life normally. But, due to the lack of knowledge about the availability of facilities and the condition, it can become more stressful than it should be. Bringing this particular topic on a larger platform, a three-hour workshop will analyse every aspect of the disease.
Decoding Dementia will see two experts, Dr Santosh Bangar, a geriatric psychologist, talk about the diagnosis and treatment, and Amrita Patil Pimpale, a certified trainer explain how to take care of the patient. “While we have been advocating for the awareness of this disease for the past 12 years, we came to realise that personal care after the diagnosis is also not easily adaptable. The family would hire an unknown person to cook and look after the patient, which complicates things. Similarly, the family taking care of their loved ones with the condition found the situation quite difficult and often experienced burnout. So, we focus on how to take care of the patient correctly, which would also give you enough time to take care of your own life,” Pimpale explains.
