Dementia and COVID-19 Lockdown: More Than a Double Blow for Patients and Caregivers
Raffaella Migliaccio, Arabella Bouzigues
Abstract
In dementia research and in clinical practice, the COVID-19 pandemic represents an important challenge, not only for neurological staff and researchers, but above all for patients and their caregivers. It is important that the medical staff demonstrate flexibility, open-mindedness, and humanity when following patients and caregivers. It seems inevitable that caregivers will pay the highest price during this crisis.
