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

Dementia can happen even in the 30s or the 40s.😊

I’m so glad to share this good news here #Doctorojie helped me cure my herpes and depression by giving me some natural herbal medicine juice that helps me get rid of this damm herpes .😊

Isn't that called FTD?

Great to see Dementia UK taking a lead in promoting Sporting & Reminiscing Activities for people living with Dementia 👏⛳⚽🏓👏

Your wrong, Alzheimer's causes dementia; dementia does not cause Alzheimer's

What is GP?

Am 38 and i tend to forget so much, i cant concentrate and its very difficult for me to learn anything..i cant even right a text to my wife,i feel like i dont have words and i dont remember them. And my tongue slips frequently when i speak. It took me ages to write this simple comment

That's Biden in the debate!

Im 10 and i have it😭😭😭

Select drinks that suit thier palate or known preferences, or make it fun with mocktails in the summer

I’m so sorry for your loss of your father. Jody was a blessing to you. God bless❤

I am teen and i am so scared because i think i have alzhaimer but i am full healthy. I make blood analizes and nothing scary have.😢

my grandmother had young onset due to family history (we didn’t know about this until she was diagnosed) and my advice is to cherish every moment you have. They need to know they’re loved, even if their brain isn’t working right. Dementia is a monster and doesn’t discriminate

Do young onset dementia live a full normal life?

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

So sorry for what you’ve been though this is a very moving tribute to your dad and to Jody x

I think I have dementia

My brother is having many of these symptoms right now. He already had epilepsy, but now he's showing signs of aggitation, unable to concentrate, unable to express himself, and no interest in doing what once were his normal activities. He even said "I don't know what the problem is." Getting him to his neurologist ASAP. Just trying to get as much info as I can.

Aww 😊

❤ thank you for telling your story, and thank you to all the Admiral Nurses for such a great service in supporting people through the unknown

She ain't yiung though...

Thanks. UK really draws attention to young onset. US doesn’t have much info. Very appreciated. 😊

Dear Christine and Andy, sending love. My husband had Lewy Body dementia and he never stopped recognising me. Thank goodness for the Admiral Nurses and for your honesty about how it is for us, living with dementia. And, for the power of love. We are fortunate in that.

Giving an individual living with dementia water in a clear glass is a no go, as they can not see there is liquid in the glass

Thank you for sharing your story❤

My Mum said to me "Susan there will come a time when I won't know you but l want you to know l really love you". Mum is now bed bound on a wonderful Care Home. She sleeps most of the time but she smiles when she sees me and l know she recognises me. It's a cruel disease .

Very moving! I can relate to Andy and Christine's story. Thank you for sharing you are not alone♥

Hi Margaret and Andy i work with Dementia patients and your right its heartbreaking bit i do think that when it gets worse deep down there will be something about you that he remembers you might only see a glimpse of it but you will see it, music is a great way to connect when it gets tougher i have patients that cant speak but a song will come on from there younger days and i can see the shine come knto there eyes that they remember, dont give up hope either of you, stay strong, ❤️ Susan

I have recently been diagnosed with Dementia as a very energetic person that I have been in the past I am struggling to cope with this. I am lucky to have a very caring husband that is supportive and caring for me, there's good days where you feel yes I can do this or that you then realised I can't do it on my own. I used to be very independent and now I feel lost and frustrated not being able to feel the freedom I had or to deal with everyday living. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and video on the difficulty of Dementia. Today has been a mixture of feeling and behaviour tomorrow is another day. God bless.

Wow this could be me and my husband who ive been trying to get diagnosed for the past 3 years. He is at a stage now where he is forgetting where he lives or that i am his wife. Hes only 62 and fit as a fiddle as he has trained and competed in competitions all of his life. They call it the long goodbye for a good reason. This has resonated so much with me. I wish then both well on their journey.

Im deeply touched by this video, the love you have for each other gives me so much hope. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Dear Margaret, I feel for you, it's so difficult. Please continue to try with Admiral Nurses. I found them later and have spoken with them. They are there to help. You are strong even if you don’t feel it. I had no one to help me looking after my parents. I was on auto pilot for 6 years.

I didn't know about Admiral nurses when I was looking after my mum and dad both with dementia and physical disabilities, alone. I wish I had. Still struggling with our story

😢 so touching 😢 thank you for sharing

You are doing great.

Thankyou for this. I am logged in via my husband's google account....he has Alzheimer's. He never did bother to use the Android device I set up for him years ago now and got him tuition. So I use it all instead. He was 80 last Saturday. Diagnosed May 2023, but I hv been concerned since before 2017. I connect with all you say. My feelings, concerns, fears, worries are the same. Scared, how will I cope in times ahead, I am 80 myself 'ere long. No family. No support. I get exhausted constantly repeating stuff. I don't handle it well. Lose it often in tired frustration. I tried calling Admiral nurses a few times. Always engaged. Will try again. I do need to talk to someone so thanx for that information encourages me to try again. I wish all the best possible for you both in your situation..and for us too. Margaret

My partner is an Admiral Nurse, and I know how she is when she gets home after a day out working in Care Homes. I take my hat off to each and every AN out there - you are THE very best.

is there a treatment for this ? My wifes sister 47 is in the same situation..Veey hard for us and her 27 yo son..I want to believe there is a way to treat her , she is very young

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.

Very helpful video.

❤❤❤

Oh boy. My father in law has showered with toothpaste before now. He does much prefer the old fashioned bars of soap, but they seem hard to get now.I really like the ideas her.though. Especially the feeling the water first - he does get very anxious.

Thanks for reminding me what this is, I forgot

I dont have dementia and that seems super useful as is

Very helpful. Not much in the US.

I don't work, because I care for my mother-in-law with dementia, I would like to give financial help but I can't.😔

Young-onset dementia, also known as early-onset dementia, is caused by the same illnesses that often cause dementia in older adults. Certain causes, such frontotemporal dementia (FTD), are more prevalent in younger individuals, though. Even when the same conditions cause dementia in older people, it frequently manifests differently in younger people. My mother, who currently resides at silvergaterr, experiences this.

My wife has dementia, diagnosed at age 58. I am sure she started showing symptoms at least 8 years ago but I did not understand what those symptoms were at the time. Bad temper, withdrawn, unable to handle small issues and everything becomes a crisis, especially with interactions with strangers, and always thinking people are treating her badly when they are not doing anything close.
