It can be difficult when dealing with dementia causing conditions to find relevant and useful information. This page has been created to give you an overview of informational videos that can be found online about the various causes of dementia, as well as additional links. Unfortunately videos for all types of dementias could not be found, but we will endeavour to continue looking for them, and update the page if successful.
Also, down the right hand side of this page, is information about many mainstream movies that have dementia as part of their plot line. These movies aren't educational as such, but it can be cathartic to watch a video that demonstrates that others also have insight into this condition...
