Show Notes
For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Teresa Davies, in north-east Wales.
Just over a decade ago, Teresa was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s.
This came as a shock and left the usually positive Teresa in a dark place.
She says she ‘didn’t know how to cope’ after her diagnosis and wasn’t given the right support.
But a chance meeting turned things around and helped Teresa to find a new purpose.
She now lives as well as she can with dementia and supports others affected by the condition.
You can visit alzheimers.org.uk/publications for our range of publications and factsheets designed to support and inform anyone affected by dementia.
For personalised information and advice, call our Dementia support line on 0333 150 3456, or for Welsh speakers call 03300 947 400.
