Angelika Wagner (74) from Söcking speaks about her husband's dementia at an event in Starnberg. Peter Wagner, a lawyer by training, an enthusiastic jogger who liked to go to the opera and began studying for senior citizens after he stopped working, increasingly behaved very strangely.
A neurologist diagnosed a form of Alzheimer's, and it was later confirmed that it was vascular dementia, one of more than 100,000 50 different forms of dementia. “Luckily we had a living will and a power of attorney,” says the former pharmacist.
