- Title
Dementia looming!

- Abstract
Background I, the 45-year-old scientist, the PhD, the sublime researcher, now subject to dementia? I felt confused, very ashamed and told no one, until they found out. I suffer from brain atrophy, associated with multiple sclerosis I am suffering from for years. My cognitive impairment is the result of my shrinking brain! Objectives With my personal view ‘Dementia Looming!’, I hope to contribute to and support healthcare professionals and scientists in understanding the meaning of dementia. Although not scientific, my paper gives a unique behind-the-scenes view into what it means to experience dementia symptoms.
