Question: Do you study any other degenerative brain diseases along with dementia?

My study of dementia is a Psychological one. I work as a healthcare assistant at times, where I get to interact with old people with complex diseases. I get to see, Multiple sclerosis, Blind with dementia, lonely, Parkinsons e.t.c patients. The only thing I can do is be supportive, give them the sense of trust then I talk with them to try to reactivate their memory.
My major specialization however is newborn (neonatal brain). When a child is born you can detect factors that can trigger these disease at old age, so it is easy to solve the problem when a child is born rather than wait long for it to be manifested in old age.
