We Are More Than What We Remember: An Insight Into Dementia

Memories, one can say, are timeless. They give meaning to our existence and define who we are. Our memories link our past with our present, helping us shape our future. They give us an enduring sense of identity, a strong sense of who we are, and what matters in life. If a person is to be robbed of his or her memories, not only will it be an emotionally devastating experience for the person affected, but it also takes a painful toll on families and caregivers who have to witness what they see as the gradual loss of their loved one while the person is still alive. Awareness about disorders that can affect one’s memory is important in terms of not only protecting oneself from developing such conditions but also learning how to “live with the disease” if one is affected.
