Best-selling British author Wendy Mitchell recounts her personal experiences with dementia and how it has affected her life.

In a society obsessed with youth and fitness, we often avoid talking about issues associated with sickness and old age.

The idea of losing our memories as we get old scares us, which makes a dementia diagnosis seem like a death sentence.

Diagnosed at age 58, Wendy Mitchell decided not to let her dementia define her and instead work to help others live their best lives.

Since her diagnosis, Mitchell has started a blog, written two bestsellers, and given countless lectures.

In What I Wish People Knew About Dementia, Mitchell shares her experience, her readers' stories, and relevant data to help people better understand the condition.
