In this episode of BrainStorm, host Meryl Comer continues explore the challenges of false Alzheimer's diagnosis in her interview with Doreen Monks, a former neuroscience nurse practitioner. Upon re-examination, Monks' diagnosis was revised eight years later as mixed dementia, but the stigma of Alzheimer's has already taken its toll.

Part 2 highlights issues in the dementia diagnosis process, the gap between scientific advances and clinical practice, and the emotional toll of misdiagnosis. Doreen Monks' personal journey offers both practical advice and emotional support for others facing similar challenges, emphasizing hope, proactive health management, and the need for scientific advances reaching clinical practice more efficiently. Take a listen!
