Dementia from the inside: a doctor's personal journey of hope

Dr Jennifer Bute, FRCGP, is a distinguished former General Practitioner.

In 2009 she was diagnosed with early-onset dementia, and has since learned valuable ways of coping and helping others with the condition.

Her primary conviction is that living with faith in Jesus means there is joy, even in dementia.

But what does it feel like to have dementia, and what can help?

Jennifer believes that her dementia is an opportunity as well as a challenge.

When she resigned as a GP, she resolved to explore what could be done to slow the progress of dementia, and to help people living with it.
