The untold side of Dementia
Dementia brings many changes to people’s lives and one area that isn’t usually talked about is the difference it makes to a couple’s sex life. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has reported concerns over the vulnerability of married dementia patients and whether care home staff are at risk of prosecution if they allow a patient with dementia to have sex with a long-term partner. Jane will be talking to Gill, whose husband had dementia and who became aggressive when unable to cope with his sexual feelings. She'll also be discussing the issue of physical intimacy and dementia with Clive Evers from the Alzheimer's Society.
