Avoiding Diagnosis: The Stigma of Dementia

Dementia & Families: A Balancing Act by Kelly A Bertenshaw, MA CCC SLP ECDCS

Episode notes

Many families delay a dementia diagnosis because they’re afraid of what it means—losing independence, disrupting family life, or facing an uncertain future. But silence only makes the journey harder. In this episode, Kelly explores where stigma comes from, why it keeps people from seeking help, and how we can begin to change the conversation. You’ll hear stories of fear, resilience, and community, and learn ways to break the silence so no one has to walk this journey alone.
