What is Dementia - Presented by Dr. David B. Reuben | UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Program

[@autumnskye5882]

I took care of my grandma who had dementia and sundowners till she passed. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Even when she got incredibly mean (never said a bad thing her whole life) I’d do it all again. Miss you grandma.

My mother is 80 and she is in the severe stage of dementia. I Love her so much

I have been fortunate enough to work with Dr Reuben & the UCLA Alzheimer's & Dementia Care Program this month - they have impacted so many lives for the better! Truly incredible initiative that now has a significant amount of evidence to support this model

Thank you for this video! Oh my gosh! I took Rose, who suffered with dementia, to a psychiatrist. He asked her, "You buy an item at a store. The item costs $3.75. You gave them $5.00. How much do you get back." Rose declared, "$1.25!" He quickly said, "What year is it?" She declared with a pointed finger, "1901!" The year was actually 2011. It is like swiss cheese of the mind- sometimes they are on and sometimes they are off. Caregivers are going to need all the help we can get!!!!

[@karenferguson3078]

Thanks for this video. I’m glad you mentioned NPH but like most you just said it’s rare. No further explanation like with the other dementias. I don’t think it’s as rare as people think since there is a crisis in diagnosis. Approximately 80% are not diagnosed and have no idea their dementia is treatable. I had dementia in my 40s because of this and had to fight for diagnosis and treatment. A simple mention of the common symptoms can potentially save many brains.

[@yasminzaman9444]

I am 69 years old. I live by myself. My doctor son traumatised me in 2002. He made me very sad. When my husband with diabetes heard of his actions went into a coma. We had been married for 40 years passed on. I was made to leave our just built home. I had to come back to USA. I was sad and very angry. He had hit me I the head and locked me in my own bedroom for 6 hours with no air and water. I still forgave him and others for the sake of the grandchildren. I have been back now almost 14 years in Houston. TX. I feel depressed but not suffer from dementia. I feel abandoned I drive and take care of myself as much as I can. I have lost interest in social activities. Because I have been stigmatised. I would like communicate my concerns and fears as I get older. I live in my own home. Read many books. I also compose poetry. I speak English. As it is my main language. I have a BA in English Language and English Literature. I am on disability and get SSDI. I want get support from Agency

[@enoughcorruption5975]

This guy knows what he's talking about! My mother just went into UCLA for dementia testing and it was a disaster! Still waiting for the results but we don't expect much after what we went through! A neuropsychiatrist or geriatric psychiatrist is the way to go! Find out the type of dementia your loved one has and then attack it with a vengeance!☆

[@FiberFairy22]

love to chat with you sometime if you're down...we took my mom to UCSD Geriatric Behaviorial Health Unit with the highest of hopes and what did they do!? Put her on Depakote (which made her basically catatonic) and told us to keep her on that and put her in 24-hour locked-down care and...wait for her to die (in not exactly those last words but come on).

[@toolofbordem]

I think between 40:00 and 43:00 would be the most beneficial to anyone looking at the pharmacology aspect of this disease. Also Doctor I tend to agree with you on vitamins once the patient has the disease, but what are your thoughts on prevention?

[@sylvianazareth908]

My Mum had Dementia who lost her memory when she was older and she told me that I was not her daughter. I felt very hurt when my Mum said that to me. I think she had Vascular Dementia Disease in the Brain for losing her Memory. May God bless my Mum. Who can take that disease from her. She died on the month of February 2004. She was 69 years old. From Sylvia Nazareth.

Monday Thirteenth of February Two Thousand And Twenty-Three. 02.06am. Dear Sir/Madam. Good-morning. How are you? I trust you are well. ☹️ My Mother, has Dementia and it's sad because I am very depressed at the moment and just cannot seem to find the TIME to go see her. I would LOVE to go back to my Country Saint Lucia, and take my Mother with me. Maybe in a couple years time when things settle down, I can go spend time with her. Yours Faithfully. Francesca Kray.

Interesting that he said that delirium is frequently encountered in the hospital... but no mention of the drugs they give there potentially being the cause.

[@kimmykim007]

My husband is diagnosed with dementia. He is only 61. I can't believe this I hope not.he is also severely depressed on meds . I don't know if it's media causing this repeating thoughts that don't make sense. Help!

thanks for making this video

[@borderlord]

Thank you Dr, is decreased appetite and increased sleep/fatigue an integral part of dementia? My mother stays in bed to midday or more over the last year and has no urgency to wash and dress ,where before she was out of bed between 8 -9 am and wash and dress before I noticed her short term memory loss. She has lost a lot of weight and rarely eats a full meal ,although she has breakfast and some snacks in the day but doesn't finish her evening meal! Thankyou

[@myahmyah]

I know this video is old, but I am trying understand the behavior of one who may be in the early stage of dementia. I have a family member who has had a 3rd stroke this year. Has had random angry out burst over simple things that would not have affected them prior to the strokes. Some days seem normal, then there are days where you don't remember why you live a lone. Or accuse someone of watching you, hacking your social media, stealing money and memory loss. The next two days you are back to normal but you doesn't remember yesterday days episode. They feel nothing is wrong with them, to the point they try to do things that risk their health or life, such as getting behind the wheel of a car. Family member age group middle 50's. First stroke med 40's. Has anyone experienced this with a family member or friends? Desperately looking for answers. Thank you.

Is there ANY record of a person improving significantly after Alzheimer's or Vascular diagnosis?

[@ZekelHealthcare]

Thanks

[@DreamsOfFinland]

any news on how CBD oil brings back cognitive ability &/or physical function? also stops tremors in Parkinson's. Temporary, but no bad side effects. Because it works so fast it kind of opens the question of is it a fuel? trying to rebuild an engine when you are just out of gas kind of feeling about Alzheimer's.

[@buttbrowser]

While I do appreciate how informative this lecture has been to myself & plenty of others, I can't help but feel a bit unhinged at how sterile his presentation is. I work as a caregiver pretty much full time for residents with terminal Dementia so allow me to fully express just how devastating & terrorizing this motherfucker of a disease this truly is!!! "You don't have Dementia, but you're on your way..." He said that with such ease & with absolutely no sympathy at all. I mean what the fuck? Is that how he is in his day to day practice with patients?

[@karenfischer1231]

There is something definitely wrong with your perception. I see this doctor’s whole being is sympathetic. You expect him to weep while giving presentation to help people understand a awful debase?

[@melaniexoxo]

This man has literally devoted his life to the care of dementia patients and wants to paint a realistic picture of the condition. I think he does that and increases understanding.

On Nov 3, 2016, I was told I will not be getting a kidney transplant because I have blood circulation problems. I live in the US.my wife have had Dementia and many miscarriages over 18 year's of marriage we have done everything possible in the medical field with no results. In my 20's , I developed venous statis in which the capillaries pop and my skin darkens on both my legs below my knees and above my ankles. I have a inherited kidney disease as FSGS and minimal change , two kidney disorders. At that time, there was no treatment for me because my blood was normal but I had proteinuria alot of it. My kidney disease didn't really getbad until 2006, then I was referred to a kidney doctor. He prescribed predisone. It didn't work on me. It was supposed to slow down the disease. But my problems befan to appear in 2012, when I started to gain weight, I thought at the time I was eating too much, but I later discovered it was excess water. Because later that year, my legs started to leak water. I actually had to squeeze the water out of my socks and trousers. Then I developed claudication which causes pain on my calf muscles in the back of my legs. I would walk a few steps and they would seize up. I would rest a few moments and the pain would go away. Then walk a few more steps and again experience pain. Then in February 2014, my kidneys finally failed and I was put on haemodialysis. Then I lost circulation in my toes, then gangrene then amputations in May 2014 on my left foot then my left leg below the knee in June 2014Then my big toe on my right leg, on October 2014, and theno the rest of my toes in Nov 2014. By July 2014, I lost 40 liters of of water or 88 pounds of water through haemodialysis. I thought since I had 20 other medical problems besides my 2 kidney disorders that I wouldn't qualify for a kidney transplant. Plus I have 47 chromosomes. But at least, I now know, I won't be getting a kidney.Unless someone invents a cure for poor blood circulation. Not every one who has a chronic kidney disorder will have the kind of problems I have had.recently I was introduced to a herbalist from China by a doctor friend from India, we have to fly from India where I went for the treatment to meet with the herbalist dr sale bashiru in China.just in about two months later I was cured of this disease with herbs and oil.and my wife was becme pregnant after using his herbs and oil too also. We are few years without pain and symptoms now.here is my email address if you need information [e-mail]
