How do you make sense of your #dementia? Is this is given time and space by your #doctor? There's a debate to be had about what is the most helpful way to understand #dementia - and there may be a range of options.

Where do our ideas about #dementia come from? Representations in the media play an important role, as does the language used by doctors and healthcare professionals. /5

[NIHR PRU in Dementia and Neurodegeneration Exeter @DeNPRUExeter]

What we think about #dementia can also affect how we feel about it, and how we cope. These different understandings are linked to different levels of #wellbeing. This is why we want to understand the different ways of conceptualising dementia and the affect these have. /4

[NIHR PRU in Dementia and Neurodegeneration Exeter @DeNPRUExeter]

There are several different ways in which people with #dementia understand the condition. Not everyone uses the label given at #diagnosis. Some people talk more about #symptoms, others about #ageing. Some aren't sure, and others don't perceive any problem. /3

[NIHR PRU in Dementia and Neurodegeneration Exeter @DeNPRUExeter]

What we think about #dementia changes how we approach it, so it's important to try and understand someone's individual perspective. We found that most people with #dementia spoke about it very differently from how a #doctor would talk about #dementia. /2

[NIHR PRU in Dementia and Neurodegeneration Exeter @DeNPRUExeter]

Every person with #dementia is different, and the ways we think about dementia are different. @prof_lindaclare's latest paper explores how people with dementia make sense of the condition. Here's an accessible summary:
