When It Comes To Dementia, Ignorance Is Not Bliss

My commentary in today's Nova Scotian, the newsmagazine insert in the Sunday Herald.
Please read it and try to remember this: dementia does not equal aggression. We must stop fearing this disease if we are to provide the compassionate care people with Alzheimer's, and those who care for them, deserve. Having dementia does not take away our humanness.
