In this five-part series, neurologist Jules Montague and William Miller go into the homes of people with rare dementias, to discover that dementia is not what we think it is. It's a common misconception that dementia is a condition that only affects memory, but Alzheimer's is only one form of dementia: there are many more. Because the symptoms of rare dementias can be so atypical, often in younger people, those with rare dementias wait twice as long for a diagnosis and a third are initially misdiagnosed. The symptoms of these dementias go far beyond memory loss.
