TL;DR
There is still little empirical research observing the process of diagnostic disclosure in dementia, and studies exploring the views of patients and their families suggest this should be an ongoing process with the provision of support and information tailored to individual needs.
Abstract
There is still little empirical research observing the process of diagnostic disclosure in dementia. Studies exploring the views of patients and their families suggest this should be an ongoing process with the provision of support and information tailored to individual needs. The term "Alzheimer's disease" appears to have more negative connotations than the word "dementia".
