Joanne, a highly educated faculty member of an academic medical center, started to show symptoms of Primary Progressive Aphasia, a neurodegenerative brain disorder, around her 44th birthday. Joanne describes her experience in the research journal articles she wrote after being diagnosed. One theme that shines through in her writing about her experience is that Joanne created a care plan centered around what gave her purpose. Of the many skills she lost, Joanne worked only to keep those that helped her find purpose and meaning in life. Even though there is not enough research on this topic, the research that does exist suggests that everyone, including individuals with neurodegenerative brain disorders, could benefit from structuring their lives around what gives them purpose.
