ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dementia is a brain condition that affects memory, thinking, mood and behaviour.
Around half a million Australians live with dementia, while about 1.7 million people care for someone with the disease.
Its impact extends beyond the person diagnosed, affecting families, friends and carers.
Ahead of Dementia Action Week, The Wire’s Georgia Perry spoke with Michelle Bishop about dementia’s far-reaching impact along with her experiencing supporting her late-mother.
