Si
*This is a fictional case study and character(s) based on a variety of real situations.
Si is a man in his late 60s living in Selma Park. His wife passed away a couple of years ago which led to Si downsize his home and move locations. He suffered a period of depression for a while he struggled with loneliness and his new life transition. He was concerned that he may be getting early onset dementia because he felt like his brain was performing very poorly all the time. He just could not think the way he used to when his wife was alive. After seeing a counsellor, which stabilized his mood, he made a few dramatic lifestyle changes to turn things around, including diet changes, more focus on sleep and resumption of regular exercise. One aspect of health that he had read about, but was not being addressed, was brain health. He wanted to work on that too but didn’t really know how to – other than completing the daily Wordle. While scrolling through Facebook community groups one day, he came across an advert for Cognitive Training for improved brain performance.
