  1. I just returned from a transformational week with the #UCSF #GBHI cohort at the #MAC. Here is a photo of the group after the Salon on Fairness, a wonderful presentation about how we might think about justice in relation to brain health. It was inspiring being among #neurologists, #psychiatrists, and #writers all committed to bringing about a world where brain health is a human right.

  2. "That face: the profound indifference of a man who truly does not care about other human beings."

    It's also the face of #dementia. What kind? Perhaps #FTD (frontotemporal dementia) which often presents as apathy and a lack of empathy. Any #neurologists out there care to weigh in?

  3. Many doctors -- #neurologists, #psychiatrists, you name it -- have been concerned about this for a long while. The man is cognitively impaired and has been for years. It's called the prodromal phase, and the #disease has been percolating. Anyone who knows anyone with #dementia knows he is ill. Okay #NYT, now's the time to have your opinion writers say why (or why not) Trump shouldn't be president.

  4. #Alzheimer's and #Brain Health Awareness Month is coming to an end. I spent the last two weeks in #France talking to #neurologists, #psychiatrists, #nurses, and #volunteers about #Dementia, #Grief, and #Narrative Medicine. So many people in France -- and around the world -- are working to understand #Alzheimer's, treat it, and help #caregivers. I also had the opportunity to go to Dax to the extraordinary, loving Village Landais Alzheimer. We need many more places like it: villagealzheimer.landes.fr/en/

  5. #FindingTheRightWords turns 2 today. Here I am w/my co-author #Dr.BruceMiller, a #doctor whose #empathy, #knowledge, and #generosity knows no bounds. That my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's couldn't be changed, but writing the #memoir w/ Bruce changed me, helping to put that experience of profound fragmentation (my father's; mine) into something a little more whole. W/so much gratitude to Bruce and the many #neurologists working to #EndAlz always and esp. during #worldalzheimersmonth

  7. #BruceMiller and I wrote #FindingtheRightWords for people with #dementia, their #caregivers, their loved ones, their #nurses and #doctors, including #neurologists, #geriatricians, and #psychiatrists. #narrative medicine cannot cure #Alzheimer's, but the power of #empathy, intense #listening, and #storytelling can help immensely. We are so grateful this reader thinks our book is helpful, even beautiful.💜

  11. @jfballenger. Dear Jesse, I'm a fan of your book on #Alzeimers and look forward to reading the next one on #dementia. In the meantime, I'm hoping to find others (#authors, people interested in #medhum, #neurologists, #neuropsychologists, #geriatricians, #caregivers, people with #dementia) to follow. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
