Opinion: Care for people surrounding dementia patients
Dr. Kasper Bormans highlights that while approximately 800,000 caregivers support individuals with dementia, these supporters often remain invisible despite being deeply affected. With dementia cases projected to rise from 320,000 to over 600,000 by 2050, Bormans argues for greater attention to prevention and relational care. He emphasizes that human connection serves as a vital medicine alongside medical treatment, urging society to recognize and support these "shadow stakeholders" throughout the year rather than only during awareness months.
