Three quarters of a million people have dementia in the UK, and the numbers are rising.
If you would like to listen again to any of our previous Dementia reports, originally broadcast in November 2005, and during Radio 4's recent Memory Season 2006-07, you can order a CD via the Alzheimer's Society.
As part of Radio 4's Memory Experience, You and Yours broadcast a week of reports on dementia. We revealed the latest research, including vaccine trials, the effect of vitamins, Omega 3, insulin and the discovery of a new gene. Plus following on from the You and Yours Dementia Month in November 2005, we revisited David Whitcombe, who has early onset dementia, and saw how listener Paul Philipson fared in his battle over who pays for his mother's care.
