My Product Is Unexpectedly Being Used to Help People with Dementia
As someone who is dealing with a mother with actual dementia, the term "tool to fight dementia" is deeply misleading at best.It's fine as a product, but it does nothing to "fight" dementia. It's a convenience and that's it."Fighting" implies that it has some therapeutic value that can stop or slow down the progression of the disease, and this does nothing. It's just an easy way to flip through pictures. After watching my mom go from a brilliant pharmacist to an incontinent, paranoid, angry stranger in the span of 6 years, I guarantee you there is absolutely nothing that flipping through a photobook will do that will do to fight dementia.It's great for grandparents and older folks because it's familiar and convenient and easy to change. It's not a tool to fight dementia.
