Anxiety Increases The Risk of Dementia

[@mr.giggles4995]

How many of the people in the study were medicated? Anti-anxiety meds such as benzodiazapines or gabapentin as well as antipsychotics will cause symptoms of dementia, especially in older people. I thought i was dying of dementia by age 30 because of all the meds i was on. Psychiatry is dangerous.

[@llkoolbean4935]

This is a great point and also the reverse causality. I think my brother is experiencing this.😢

[@petramaas8574]

This is an important question. Especially because a report like this could lead to prescribing more medications with possible detrimental side effects.

[@maryleecolonna6502]

Yes! 26 years on prescribed benzodiazepines has definitely injured my brain. I don’t know if it can fully heal.

@@maryleecolonna6502I am under chronic pain care management, a serious back injury changed every aspect of my life, recently I was given the ultimatum of stop Benzos or pain medication , I spent 6 months in a body cast & only by the grace of THE LORD & many friends praying I can walk and live as normal as possible. Now to the point, I knew that stopping pain medication would be unthinkable, so I decided to stop Benzos that I had been on since 1990 . I tapered off for a 4 month period exactly as the Dr prescribed, 3 days after I was totally off the meds & New Year Eve my Wife and I were sitting in the emergency room. Had I not had an awesome Dr We were able to adjust & I am now just beginning to feel normal again . I feel for your situation, I would encourage you to sit down with your doctor & do your research on this issue and hopefully you can get the best outcome possible, GOD Bless

So is there anything an anxious person can do to prevent this? Heck, I don’t need anything else to scare me!

[@iliketurtles4463]

I have simple advice for you. "Don't poop the bed until it happens." If you live your life thinking you are about to poop the bed, you will probably poop the bed...

[@joyfulnoise2477]

I'm no doctor, but I've had anxiety and for starters I would suggest (if you're not already doing this) plenty of time (at least 30 min/day) in the sun and fresh air, preferably walking or some other exercise, cut back on caffeine, sugar and carbs, try to sleep at least 8 hours/night, and if at all possible work on weaning off of any prescriptions - with your doctor's help of course.

Wow That makes such good sense...sadly. Thank you...sooo much.

[@DrBeenMedicalLectures]

You are welcome.

I have been learning significantly about quantum biology of light as affecting D3 and its metabolites that have activities as well, plus reduced inducement of mitochondrial melatonin if a lack of regular exposure to near infrared daylight wavelengths cannot continue into the time of evening indoors when weaver typically exposed to LED lights and monitoring screens. Dr, Casey Pearler has done some great work gathering research papers clarifying this invade series. Mobbed, I'd love to get any mechanistic clarifications on these papers, from your knowledge.

[@raykinney9907]

Hmmm, spell check hits repeatedly again.

[@raykinney9907]

One of many points suggests isolated narrow band wavelength of sky blue light, almost exclusively the light our brains 'see' as white light', tells our physiology that it is still high noon. If NIR light is typically NOT happening now as it did with incandescent bulbs to modulate the blue insistence of mid day, whole sequences of hormones can get dis-regulated, and can extend cortisol and adrenalin more into slow wave sleep time of nite. This can prevent sleep being deep enough to switch brainstem fully into repair and replace mode of physiology. QQQ

[@alexdimas6128]

Thank you Dr, that's so informative!

[@martinfinn674]

Well explained Dr. Bean.

[@DrBeenMedicalLectures]

Thank you

[@martinfinn674]

I am a Medical Scientist (retired). It's good to watch your videos just to keep the old grey matter ticking over.

[@DrBeenMedicalLectures]

Happy that you watch these videos. Thank you.

[@Fireman9143]

Thanks for another great explanation!

[@DrBeenMedicalLectures]

My pleasure!

[@jluc5257]

Would love to see a discussion with full breakdown of the mechanics

[@stringsnare]

Would you consider having Dr.Georgia Ede your podcast. Relate this to anxiety and dimentua.

[@joyfulnoise2477]

My mom had chronic anxiety for decades, but only began to show signs of dementia in the last 2 of her 83 years, and only after she received 2 jabs, the first of which likely caused her to lose her balance and fall w/in days, and the 2nd which almost certainly caused her to collapse within hours.

Means the juice did it

Hi Doc 💙

[@DrBeenMedicalLectures]

Hello

[@Glenn-j1u]

Med applications is important & I would like to know.

[@estee233]

My doctor who did brain wave analysis suggested very low doses of Klonopin to control my over compensation of my brain neural connection firing too early thus preventing dementia.

[@GDe-gi1kz]

Klonopin

[@HobbesnCalvin124]

Before watching this video, I need to ask, does Dr Been actually address solid practical ways to deal with anxiety? If not, there is no reason to watch because it will just scare people more and make their anxiety worse.

[@GDe-gi1kz]

What is the solution to anxiety

[@jabberwockytdi8901]

Question is if late onset anxiety is not actually an early symptom of dementia rather than a causal factor?

[@DrBeenMedicalLectures]

Authors discuss this aspect in their manuscript and conclude that it is not.

[@DrSheenMedicallectures]

Sir excellent lecture ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
