Moderate Dementia Stage Changes

[@barrycrook5995]

Of all the videos I have watched on the subject, the multiple of books written by so called experts, this video alone is the only one which I can fully relate to all aspects . Recently going to appointments with Physcologists , geriatic specialists, was a complete waste of time. Basically all they did was say that I was taking good care of my wife, she was well fed, and seemed happy. DUH!!!! The real story is one that fits this video on "MODERATE", which in itself can be related to by the daily episodes, of frustration, depression, and having to work in my wifes world and at the same time trying to relate to logical scenarios., and lack of understanding, empathy and compassion from others in the family, that just stay away. How can any husband at 80 learn to start walking in a world which is so Chaotic, where you can never plan for tomorrow based on what youv'e experienced today! These dementia patients are suffering in scenarios which we cant imagine and hopefully never have to experience. We can only love them, be kind andcomfort them, ...we can never understand the world they live in....we can only make assumptions.

Thank you. Excellent video. My Dad was recently diagnosed with major neurocognitive disorder. His decline has been startlingly fast. From being mildly forgetful at times to hallucinations in a very short span of time. Today I called to check in and he told me about six women broke in to his apartment demanding he repay the money he borrowed so they could go to the beach. I felt like breaking down because these imagined events are happening more frequently now. Thank you for a very helpful video.

any advice welcomed! i am researching now because my dad (age 63) has finally been given the diagnosis of dementia, but has had symptoms for the last 2-3 yrs. I want to make sure I’m asking my stepmom the right questions so I know when to step in and come help her. I am glad to know that the progression is not linear, But that also lets me know that i need to check in w them more often. If there’s anyone out there that knows of more insightful videos, like I am reading the comments here and finding out this is one of the better presentations/ explanations, PLZ comment back to me to provide that info. Thank you to the presenter and thank you for those that attested to this video being spot on. God bless all of us that will need to endure this process in our lifetime! ❤

It just breaks my heart to think that people are out there and will take advantage of someone who is struggling with alztimers.

My mother-in-law with her dementia no longer desires solid food she just wants to drink iced tea and coffee etc. Also when I ask her about the past and her favorite memory of her kids or her vacations she said she cannot answer those questions. And yes her short-term memory is completely gone and she will ask the same questions over and over again. She had cognitive decline but after her recent broken hip it has accelerated.

Excellent video. I will show my 88 year old mother. She doesn’t understand that my father has dementia and doesn’t mean to be so forgetful.

[@lexi1bree]

Thank you so much for this video. My husband is in this stage now. He is 65.

[@dave64grant]

I just watched this again and it fits so well. I see that I made the same comment three months ago, so there is something to be said for consistency. I just like her information and tone of presentation. I can easily listen to her.

[@kerrissedai6857]

Excellent video! I am seeing all of these with my father.

[@fruitsandspiceschannel2235]

Thank you very much for this usefull education it mean alot to me, I live in Rome at the moment and taking care my Dolce Mother in Law she is suffering an early stage of Dimentia.

[@dave64grant]

This is a great description of my situation and my DW.

[@lorraineophoff4984]

As someone who is in the process of getting diagnosed, this is the scariest thing I’ve heard so far!

[@brandonruckdashel]

Such an amazing video. Thank you!

Again, this speaks to my experiences-reviewed again ; 5/9/2021

[@kentramacchi9957]

My dad was diagnosed with dementia a few days ago and im just wandering how long a 57 year old person (my dad) will stay in the short term memory

[@brandonruckdashel]

every person is different and there is not a linear progression.

[@nonacee5065]

Younger onset is also slightly different than age related dementia. It's sad that your dad has been diagnosed at 57. Changes may happen a little more quickly. Having said that I hope he is taking some Alzheimer meds like Rivastigmene which while it doesn't stop it does seem stabilize it for a time.

[@deborahking4210]

My mother has been demented for about 38 years. It’s got to the last stage currently

[@joycedwyer8778]

When it come to the self care part you said the beginning of the moderate stage. What did she mean the beginning?

[@pattitibble]

I really love these two videos about moderate progressive Alzheimer's. But I need more of them, more help, more detail, more of what to expect next. My 63 yo husband has severe daily amnesia and can't even remember if he just let the cat out. He is physically active and independent but there's no memory, no ability to follow through on any task. He still drives and purchases things and does fairly well but for how long? How do I know when to stop driving, he has not gotten lost ever. So weird.

[@onthehill3381]

He’s driving??? 😮

[@Noname-jm3fq]

Enough talk and management , it’s high time for a cure.

[@ed7519]

Until there's a cure, there's care (management). See Teepa Snow's videos. Very good and helpful.

0 my God, thank you

[@billdeason6212]

I suffer from CRS.

[@bonniewalker6340]

I get so confused between Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

[@sharonsmall5709]

Alzheimer's is one type of dementia. There are several types of dementia. Alzheimers is the most popular form of dementia
