Behavioral neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller discusses actor Bruce Willis' diagnosis and explains the accompanying symptoms.
In a revealing new interview, Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming admitted"it's hard to know" if her husband is aware of his dementia. In March 2022, Willis announced his retirement from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia. The Willis family has since announced that the actor's condition has developed into"What I'm learning is that dementia is hard. It's hard on the person diagnosed. It's also hard on the family.
"We're a very honest and open household," she told Hoda Kotb, while appearing on the"Today" show."The most important thing was…to say what the disease was. Explain what it is, because when you know what the disease is from a medical standpoint, it sort of all makes sense," she said of disclosing her husband's diagnosis to the couple's children.
"So it was important that we let them know what it is, because you know, I don't want there to be any stigma or shame attached to their dad's diagnosis or for any form of dementia." Bruce Willis was joined by his family, including his five daughters, to celebrate his 68th birthday in March.
