Alzheimer’s disease and sexuality
Danbury News Times
At a recent educational conference on dementia sponsored by the Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, I was running late, passing packed rooms where sessions were just beginning.
“I’ll never get a seat,” I thought as I rounded the corner and entered the room where the “Sexuality and Dementia” program was getting under way. Interestingly, it was sparsely attended.
The first slide up on the screen was of an expressionless aged couple sitting side by side. In cartoon bubbles, he’s asking her “Whatever happened to our sexual relations?” and she’s responding, “I don’t know. I don’t even think we got a Christmas card from them this year.”
