Dementia Explained; How to Strengthen Your Brain - Dr. Edna Bosire

[@Jane-fi8on]

I am a Specialist Mental Health Nurse practicing in the UK. It had to take my intervention to have my auntie get a formal diagnosis of Alzheimer’s from a private Physician due to her behavioural symptoms following a memory assessment, collateral history taking from family and brain scan. . Her husband believed someone had bewitched his wife. She is currently on memory medication (Donepezil) to help slow down the progression of the disease.

The disease is expensive...the monthly drugs, caregiving etc. In addition to not abusing alcohol and cigarettes, what should we eat to boost the brain and what should we avoid?

[@carollynne5943]

The problem is nutrition in this new world of chemical agriculture..Our food is rushed with chemicals before it absorbs all necessary vit n minerals... Stress hogs up micronutrients.

[@Wanjamburu.23]

High stress too.

[@edithkinuthia5870]

What are the symptoms

[@otkk2022]

1. Finland has a high local incidence of dementia which it has been hypothesized is due at least in part to a cold and humid climate that is suitable for mold growth 2. study reveals that two indigenous groups in the Bolivian Amazon have among the lowest rates of dementia in the world. pretty sure the Bollivians dont go to school

[@alicekaranja4774]

What is the difference between mind and brain

[@eliasbusienei9566]

Brain is hardware, mind is software

[@aahmed4280]

Why does coconut oil (mct oil) slow down dementia? What is the role of nutrition in preventing dementia? Why is it called type 3 diabetes?

[@nancymichire4394]

Engaging retirees trained in mental health would assist in dissemination of information to the community.

[@hakunamatatashop]

The community doesn't care of those old people..who through Mental il lness. Instead of helping them they keep Laughing at them and and sending me messages my mother is walking through and talking by herself..

Do you have post graduate corses to cater for other cadres of health practitioners Lie Nurses Clinical Officers even for care assistants If not to date please talk this subject to your supervisors and bosses To my personal view this will assist those specialists in that field who are very few as it takes too many years to train doctors and less to train other carders and give them post graduate knowledge
