What’s happening to me? Successful translator and linguist Helga Rohra was understandably good with words - that is, until she found herself getting confused when speaking. She started to forget the way home, even though she could remember her address. Her confusing symptoms increased and Helga was diagnosed with dementia at age 50 - but she hasn’t let herself be labeled with the usual stereotypes.

With lively and engaging energy, Helga demonstrates that her life remains as rich and self-determined as ever, challenging the negative stereotypes often associated with a dementia diagnosis. She speaks candidly and humorously about her diagnosis and life with early-onset Lewy Body Dementia. She explains the changes in her daily life and the challenges she faces, and shares practical tips that show it is possible to live well with dementia.

Helga also shares her activism work, which has made her one of the key voices internationally in dementia advocacy.
