Most resources we find for dementia are in English. Fortunately, some information and help is also available in various Indian languages. These include online resources like websites with multiple pages on dementia care, reports and guides, downloadable introductory material, videos, slideshares, and so on. Printed material may be available in the form of books and information brochures. Other possible resources include helplines and in-person information, counselling, and support.
