SOCIAL PSYCHIATRIC ASPECTS OF DEMENTIA

Georg Psota ; Psota

Sažetak

The future of a dementia-appropriate care rests on early
diagnosis and treatment (also in terms of a timely information,
counselling and assistance), developing mobile medical
healthcare, integrating and coordinating all dementia care
partners and stakeholders, appropriate assessments of the
stages of care allowance, providing new forms of housing,
addressing the migration issue, and reducing unnecessary
administrative bureaucracy - as well as, last but not least, the
fight against prejudice.
People affected by dementia suffer not only from
symptoms of their illness but also from society’s reaction
towards this illness. Stigmatisation of dementia prevents an
early diagnosis and treatment which could improve the course
of the illness and create a “better everyday life”, a more of
inclusion for the affected people and their environment.
But Albert Einstein already knew: “It’s harder to crack
prejudice than an atom.“ Nevertheless, it is paramount to
work towards it - for dementia can affect each and every one
of us. Dementia matters, for all of us.
