A period of suspicion and uncertainty comes to an end the day you learn that your loved one has dementia. For many people that is a relief and a blow at the same time: you know what is wrong, but you also know that there is no cure yet. Everyone deals with this differently, but the impact of dementia on life is significant for most people. And not only for people with dementia, but also for the partner, relatives and friends. How open are you about it? How do you tell those around you? How do you deal with your emotions?

Guests are Sonja Verstraeten and Mrs. Raaijmakers, doctors at the Maxima Medical Center.
