Interesting article in that it may lead to treating both people in a relationship even if only one of them is suffering from a cognitive loss. But it really is just common sense that if your husband or wife has cognitive difficulties that your own quality of life will suffer. No amount of treatment will ease the pain of watching a loved one suffer, but perhaps supportive therapy can make the journey a bit easier.
