This year I attended the International Dementia Symposium at Bangalore on the 14th to 16th of September. I have have been a participant at this yearly event held by ARDSI (Alzheimer's and related Diseases Society of India) for the last few years, but missed last year because of another conference. This year amongst various interesting and innovative things, there were two that were really noteworthy. First the presentation by Swapna Kishore and Sowmya Hegde, which highlighted the caregiver experiences of dementia diagnosis.

Second was the release of a book "Handling Alzheimer's with courage" by Wing Cmdr Sabharwal, a caregiver for his wife. After returning from Bangalore I read the book and found it very well written. There is very little literature available that talks about the dementia journey in the Indian context, and this book fills that need very well indeed. A Hindi version of the book was released in Hyderabad by the Governor of Telangana on the of 21st September. Hopefully there will also be a Gujarati version available soon. Keep watching this space!!
