Welcome to “Is This Dementia?”—a podcast brought to you by the Centre of Research Excellence in Enhanced Dementia Diagnosis. In our debut episode, hosts Darsh and Sarah share the compelling inspiration behind this series. After conducting interviews with individuals across Australia who have gone through the journey of a dementia diagnosis either as a patient or as a significant person (spouse, partner, sibling, child, friend), they uncovered a common thread of confusion and a hunger for clearer information. Season one is dedicated to unravelling the complexities of dementia diagnosis, exploring the roles of various doctors and the tests and assessments they use to decode what’s happening in the brain. Join us as we navigate these crucial topics, aiming to shed light on the dementia journey.
