I have 3 best friends I’ve known for over 40 years. 3 out of 4 of us have a parent with dementia, including my mom. I know 3 other close friends whose parents have dementia as well. I know this is anecdotal but to me it looks like a crisis.
Dementia rates per capita rates are soaring due to an aging population and better medicine(we're able to keep sick people alive for longer who are at much higher risk of dementia). But dementia rates age groups are dropping.
