In this heartfelt conversation, Barbara opens up about the early signs her family overlooked, the emotional toll of watching her mother's personality shift, and the pivotal moment that changed their approach to caregiving. From practical strategies to navigate agitation in Alzheimer disease, to profound lessons in empathy, patience, and family dynamics, Barbara’s story offers inspiration and wisdom for caregivers and physicians.
