You are visiting the BLC page because you might have received a dementia diagnosis, or you are worried about your own memory or that of someone close to you. You might feel anxious, sad, nervous and uncertain because you have so many questions or because you do not even know what questions to ask. You are not alone. 55 million worldwide are living with dementia and a new case of dementia arises somewhere in the world every 3 seconds.

We take you by the hand and demystify and de-stigmatize dementia. BLC is a guidepost and has been developed out of personal dismay and based on our long-standing experience in dementia clinical research, our collaboration with healthcare professionals and patient advocacy groups and the feedback from the people within the dementia community.

Please note that the BLC guidepost does not replace the communication with your doctor or general practitioner. Taking the first step to seek a diagnosis can be scary but getting an early diagnosis helps to maximize quality of life through the benefits of available drug and non-drug therapies.

Let’s talk about dementia and what is going on in the brain.

There are also non-pharmaceutical therapies available which we introduce in a separate section on the BLC website.
