Dementia – The Same Story Syndrome

'Someone stole my memories … … so listen carefully and treasure the stories I will tell you again and again. Those are the only ones I can remember. Alzheimer’s is a cruel thief!' Verbal repetition, also known as looping, is common in all phases of dementia but can become more frequent as stages progress. In March 2023 more than 55 million people worldwide had been inflicted with one or more of the over 100 different types of dementia and nearly 10 million new cases are diagnosed each year.
