Drs. Harrison, Hunt, Ritchie, and Yaffe Publish Editorial in JAGS
Drs. Krista Harrison, Lauren Hunt, Christine Ritchie, and Kristine Yaffe published an editorial in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society entitled "Dying With Dementia: Underrecognized and Stigmatized". Dementia is ultimately a terminal condition, yet discussions about dementia rarely acknowledge its terminal nature. We need to acknowledge and destigmatize dying with dementia so we can better meet the needs of patients and families.
