About this episode

Jitendra Gupta shares his journey of regaining confidence and pursuing his dream of becoming a lawyer after a dementia diagnosis.

In this episode of the Dementia together podcast we chat with Jitendra Gupta in Bradford about finding confidence after his dementia diagnosis. When Jitendra first received the news he had Alzheimer's disease, he felt pessimistic about the future. But with the support of his family, friends and other networks, including Alzheimer's Society, Jitendra has regained enjoyment in life. And he's not given up on his dream to become a lawyer.
