Despite being a physician and a bioethicist, Tia Powell wasn't prepared to address the challenges she faced when her grandmother, and then her mother, were diagnosed with dementia. The statistical odds they were facing weren't great. In the US, 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day; by the time a person reaches 85, their chances of having dementia approach 50 percent. And with no cure and none coming soon (despite the perpetual promises from pharmaceutical companies), Dr. Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on cure to a genuine appreciation of care—what we can do for those who have dementia, and how to keep life meaningful and even joyful. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Tia Powell about her book "Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End" in this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI.

The fear of old age is instinctual. For many of us, the diseases that decrease mental ability over time are what makes aging so terrifying. Dr. Tia Powell, author of Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End, wants to lessen some of that anxiety. Powell, whose family has a predisposition for dementia, advises making a list of activities still possible while living with dementia. For example, her personal passion for gardening might decrease the fear –– having a plan for the potentially inevitable seems advisable. As a Professor of Psychiatry and Bioethics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, she asks those around her what they would do if they had dementia. To her horror, many said they would kill themselves. “Imagine if people with cancer said that,” Powell suggests. Powell believes we should think about constructive ways to live with dementia for 10, 12, or even 15 years, considering that approximately one-third to one-half of us will develop the disease at age 85 or older. With no cure and no preventive measures, Powell sees the magic of music as a powerful tool. People are able to sing song lyrics even after they’ve lost some speaking capabilities. Cultivating personal skills that inspire happiness might be a medicine we can prescribe this very moment, while researchers continuing looking for a cure. An attitude readjustment is something we can do now, while a cure will likely take generations to discover.

In this episode, part two of my conversation with Dr Tia Powell, author of the new book Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End. I highly recommend this book to families and professionals alike--it's worth your valuable time. This part of our conversation focuses on how the HIV/AIDS crisis shaped Dr Powell as a new doctor; how a shift in thinking from disease cure to disease management can impact daily life; and how we as a community can support both family and professional care partners.  Finally, Dr Powell shares a gut-wrenching decision she and her family were asked to make more than once, and how that played out.

Our guest is Dr. Tia Powell, author of the new book Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End. Dr. Powell wants more people to live safe and happy after a diagnosis of dementia, and encourages them and their caregivers to focus on living, instead of dying, throughout the course of the disease. Dr. Powell discusses proactive preparation, planning for physical and financial safety, and learning how to incorporate joy into a changing life. Guest: Tia Powell, PhD, director of the Montefiore Einstein Center for Bioethics and professor of epidemiology and psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York

In this episode of Navigating Rough Terrain with the Dementia Sherpa, I  speak with Dr Tia Powell, author of the new book, Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End. I was really skeptical about having Dr Powell on The Alzheimer's Podcast, because she's a psychiatrist. As a dementia-focused professional, I've learned to fear psychiatrists as people who put those with dementia on unnecessary, potentially life-threatening medications. I've spent a lot of time pointing out dementia isn't a mental illness--an idea Dr Powell takes exception with. I asked her about this, and found Dr Powell's point of view so persuasive that I'll be changing how I talk about this in the future. We also talk about the history of treatment, and how horrific it's been; why we as a society stigmatize people; and how and why a Quaker community in 1700s England came up with the original concept of “bringing the Good Stuff.” All links in the show notes at DementiaSherpa.com/episode87.  

Dr. Tia Powell is the author of the brand new book "Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End". Despite being a physician and a bioethicist, she wasn't prepared to address the challenges she faced when her grandmother, and then her mother, were diagnosed with dementia--not to mention confronting the hard truth that her own odds aren't great. Dr. Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on cure to a genuine appreciation of care--what we can do for those who have dementia, and how to keep life meaningful and even joyful. Her book can be pre-ordered from Amazon and other book sellers. Find out more about the Zestful Aging Podcast at NicoleChristina.com, and become a patron at Patreon.com/ZestfulAging.
