Sharing your diagnosis

Receiving a dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming, and deciding how and when to share this news is a deeply personal choice. Many people find that talking openly with family, friends, and trusted colleagues helps them feel supported and less isolated. Sharing your diagnosis can also help others understand the changes you may be experiencing and offer appropriate support. There’s no right or wrong way to have these conversations - what’s important is that you feel comfortable and in control. If you’re unsure how to start, organisations like Dementia Australia offer guidance and support to help navigate these conversations.
