When will there be a cure for dementia?

How far away is a cure for dementia do you think? I watched my grandad slowly leave from vascular dementia which was absolutely awful. My dad, who is 50 I’m sure a lot of it is just normal forgetfulness he’s always really busy working 60hour weeks but I feel like I repeat myself all the time to him a lot more than with my Mum or even my grandma. Because it’s his side of the family with it so it makes me worry. I literally can’t do this again in 20 years. You think there will be a cure or at least treatments for it?

Dementia is a horrible disease and I’m sorry this has affected your family like this :frown:

I’m sorry but there is no current cure for dementia as it stands at the moment, only pharmaceutical aids.

Hopefully in the next 20 years

ageing is not a disease


It is, your cells wither and die, your bones become weak and brittle, your muscles lose their strength, an old body starts becoming more likely to get stuff like cancer..etc
