Dementia, is an incurable Neurodegenerative disease, that goes through 7 stages. Usually, most people get diagnosed in the first, second or third stages when the disease begins to show. However, knowing that their life is going to end also puts strain on not just yourself, leading to denial, as seen in this year.
