Pauline Quirke, famous for starring in TV sitcom Birds of a Feather, has retired from acting following a dementia diagnosis, her husband has said.
"It is with a heavy heart that I announce my wife Pauline's decision to step back from all professional and commercial duties due to her diagnosis of dementia in 2021," Steve Sheen said.

Me too. We are told often to keep the brain active: well learning 'lines' would keep the brain on the alert so what is the real causation .......

Morning. My Mum had a deep memory bank going back years, then she developed a form of dementia which was never 'named'. Now she sleeps. Not taking interest in anything, never initiates conversation and apparently occasionally responds
. Lockdown didn't help as she lacked stimulation as well as something to rail against, i.e. me

My mum had vascular dementia which was triggered by her heart problems caused by her diabetes. A common cause of this type of dementia.

Was that due to medication to ease symptoms of each diagnosis? As with cancer treatment which can cause death by association, i.e. heart or liver failure?

My dad had vascular dementia.
His decline was rapid. Very upsetting.
He obviously had the disease whilst looking after my mom, then when she became so ill, and had to go into a care home, it was then that it completely took over him.
It’s so upsetting and scary to watch someone with it.
