A Flight Better Avoided
 Learning To Deal with Dementia-Associated Behavioral Problems

Dr. Marc Agronin’s Blog is featured Psychology Today’s website.

“I was standing in the airport recently, leaning on my carry-on and waiting for my flight when I heard a scream in the background. In the post – 9-11 era one might be quite alarmed to hear a woman screaming in the airport. But in this case I knew immediately that there was no matter of national security at hand. Sadly, the scream came from an elderly woman suffering from dementia whose family was trying to coax her onto the flight next to the gate I was waiting at.”

An excerpt from Dr. Marc Agronin’s How We Age is featured in The Atlantic.

“Gone are the days when doctors withheld certain diagnoses or treatment details from patients. If anything, doctors today are often forced to disclose excess and sometimes unnecessary information due to concerns about liability or to patients who have already canvassed the Internet on their own and have pressing questions.”
