| Annotation | Describes how the informal carers of people recently diagnosed as suffering from dementia perceive and describe that condition. Suggests that the reasons for the variety of understandings of dementia may be due to lack of information, poor communication with healthcare staff and the need to choose a definition that suits the relationship with the dementia sufferer. |
