George King, a UK citizen living in Atlanta, Georgia, has spent his life as an artist working across film, theater, writing, and photography. After noticing changes in his short-term memory while playing a word game on his phone, a neurologist confirmed a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Today, King is on a maintenance dose of the progression-slowing treatment Leqembi and actively documents his journey on Instagram at @dancing.with.delirium.
In this live conversation, King will share his personal story about:
Recognizing the early signs of cognitive change
Navigating the path to a formal diagnosis
Living with Alzheimer’s and managing treatment
Using art, photography, and storytelling as a powerful form of patient advocacy
