| Annotation | Dementia is one of the biggest clinical, social, economic and policy challenges for European health and care systems today. The author argues that a collective (policy) response to these challenges must be multi-dimensional. Societal responses to dementia in many countries are already better today than they were ten years ago, but much more needs to be done. There must be earlier and more effective prevention, better care and treatment (although no "cures" have yet been discovered), more support family and other unpaid carers, and continued investment in basic science to find disease-modifying treatments.
