Can diet affect dementia?

Telling a loved one they have dementia is a sensitive matter. While sharing a diagnosis won’t worsen the dementia itself, the way it’s communicated can greatly impact their emotional well-being. It’s important to approach the conversation with empathy, support, and clarity. Adjusting how you share this information based on your loved one’s personality, emotional state, and the stage of their dementia can help manage their anxiety and preserve their dignity. Always consider seeking advice from a professional to guide you through this conversation to ensure it’s as supportive and constructive as possible.
