Hi Lauren,
Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear about your stroke.
The dementia Australia website provides insightful information on understanding dementia. Stroke is mentioned under “Multi-infarct dementia” on the web page on vascular dementia. The website also outlines the different types of dementia to clarify the differences and provides further information on the causes of dementia.
They also have a National helpline you can call on 1800 100 500.
Please contact StrokeLine on 1800 787 653 (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm AEST) if you’d like to discuss your stroke recovery or secondary prevention further or feel free to reply to us here.
Kind regards,
Jasmine and Simone (StrokeLine)
