AB Reflecting on his own experience, recent research and the testimonies of persons with dementia, the author argues that too rigid a line is often drawn between those with the condition and those without. This is based on four grounds: the accumulation of brain damage throughout life; the debatable distinction between mild cognitive impairment and dementia; the extent to which some of those with dementia can continue to lead active and creative lives; and how lifestyle changes may offer some protection from, or reduce the effects of, dementia. A challenge is made to the still prevailing stigmatisation of people living with dementia.
