Students came from the university of west Scotland to teach us about Dementia. We learned about how to help someone with Dementia you need to talk to them and calm them down that is one of the best things you can do because there is no cure for Dementia. Dementia affects the brain you can start to forget people and where you are. it can be quite scary not knowing  were you are. Dementia can give you head aches.
