My husband was 54 when developed extreme anger , apathy , lost all empathy and stopped caring about his appearance Two years later he has no executive function , doesn’t talk to anyone including his family and has paranoid delusions This video is so important as my husband never got a diagnosis . Even now he has no diagnosis as he refuses all contact with medical services

Hi James, thanks for your comment and you're completely right. Dementia is described as ‘young onset’ when symptoms develop before the age of 65, usually between 30 to 65 years of age.

@DementiaUK116 күн бұрын
Hi Fresno, thanks for your question. Dementia is described as ‘young onset’ when symptoms develop before the age of 65, usually between 30 to 65 years of age. Frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, is a rare form of dementia affecting around one in 20 people with a dementia diagnosis. It's an umbrella term for a group of dementias that mainly affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which are responsible for personality, behaviour, language and speech. I hope this helps, but we have lots of information about the different types of dementia on our website which you may find helpful: www.dementiauk.org/information-and-support/types-of-dementia/. - Holly

@DementiaUK123 күн бұрын
Hi Aleksa, thanks for your question. A GP (General practitioners) are doctors that treat all common medical conditions and refer patients to hospitals and other medical services for urgent and specialist treatment. You can find more information about this on the NHS website: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/doctors/roles-doctors/general-practitioner. We also have lots of information about getting the best out of GP and other health appointments if you or your loved one has dementia or is seeking a diagnosis: www.dementiauk.org/information-and-support/specialist-diagnosis-and-support/getting-the-best-out-of-gp-and-other-health-appointments/.

My sister RIP was a nurse, she felt my mom was going thru something yrs ago. Thinking someone was coming into her apt and cooking smashinhing her tissue , tossing her bedcovers back while she was gone, and that wad in her 60s maybe. Then she was thinking someobe was coning into her current residence and cutting her pants up the seam and her underwear. She mives items around the house and forgets and accuses others, like she moved a colannder and got mad saying when people dont have things of their own theyll take yours, and she misplaced her tithes and was MAD...I found it in her housegown pocket. She drives fine and comes off normal on the average can hold conversations, but i think it is a variation of paranoia

My husband was diagnosed during Covid, but he was suffering a couple of years before that. He is now 65 years old. The symptoms he has seem to rapidly becoming worse. He is at a stage where he is very angry and doesn't trust us as far as money is concerned. He was never like that. He would have given myself , daughters and grand children anything. There are times when I feel I don't want to be near him and yet there are times when he gets so upset and apologises for not being able to remember anything. This just kills me inside and I feel ashamed of myself for feeling such nasty thoughts about him. He loves to dance and sing. Even though it's the same song over and over. We love him very much. No matter how hard it's going to be for him and us, and he knows that.

The assessors for my relative did not have a proper understanding of mental health, were not qualified in that field and particularly did not understand the elements and risks of paranoid schizophrenia, which was what most of the CHC application was about. There was also some mild dementia present. The assessment was little more than a shambles and I know this because I had spent more than 200 hours familiarising myself with every aspect of the CHC process and with the illness itself. But the assessors rode roughshod over the National Framework, denying me, as the representative the chance to make legal and other representations about vital aspects of the procedure so as to get to the result they themselves wanted. I strongly advise anyone who is not legally qualified ,as I am, to employ the services of specialist solicitors if they can afford it. With 40 years legal experience, even I failed to make headway.
