Quiz answers1) Anyone can develop dementia. We’re an ageing society, but it’s not just about getting old, and there are some people under the age of 65 who develop young / early onset dementia.2) It's caused by diseases of the brain. Like other parts of our body, our brain can become unwell. Dementia doesn’t spread from person to person, so you can’t ‘catch’ it from someone else. And if someone in your family has it, that doesn’t mean you’ll get it...it isn’t typically hereditary.3) False. Dementia is not just about losing your memory. It can affect people in lots of ways. Yes, they might forget certain things. But they might also not be able to write anymore, or might have problems using the right words for example.4) True. Living with dementia can be difficult, but there are things people do to keep living well. Just because someone is living with dementia, it doesn’t mean they can’t do things they like or that make them happy. They might just need a little help.5) True. Some people think because someone has dementia, that’s all that matters. But there’s more to the person than their illness – they’re still a person and have done lots of things in their life.
