Dementia is a retreat from a world in which it is not worth “experiencing” according to the beliefs of the affected person.

Dementia is a disease in the course of which memory disorders such as the ability to think or orientation problems or conspicuousness in behaviour and language occur.

Fear is the sibling of dementia. Fear of no longer being able to perform or social fears, such as fear of the old people’s home, of the nursing home, of illness, of separation, of loneliness and the fear of death. In case of fear there are only three options: Attack, flee, or fainting, and so the emergency program of dementia is born.
