Helping Loved Ones by Understanding the Symptoms of Dementia

For some, &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 &#99&#111&#110&#106&#117&#114&#101&#115 up &#105&#109&#97&#103&#101&#115 of difficult behavior and &#108&#111&#115&#115 of control. Dementia is not a specific physiological or psychological disease. Rather, it is the &#112&#114&#111&#103&#114&#101&#115&#115&#105&#118&#101 &#100&#101&#116&#101&#114&#105&#111&#114&#97&#116&#105&#111&#110 in &#99&#111&#103&#110&#105&#116&#105&#118&#101 functions due to

brain damage, leading to &#115&#121&#109&#112&#116&#111&#109&#115 of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97&#46 In many instances, &#112&#114&#111&#103&#114&#101&#115&#115&#105&#118&#101 &#100&#101&#116&#101&#114&#105&#111&#114&#97&#116&#105&#111&#110 in &#99&#111&#103&#110&#105&#116&#105&#118&#101 function is part of normal aging. According to a &#115&#116&#117&#100&#121 &#112&#117&#98&#108&#105&#115&#104&#101&#100 in The Lancet, the number of people &#119&#105&#116&#104 &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 is expected to double e&#118&#101&#114&#121 two decades, &#114&#101&#97&#99&#104&#105&#110&#103 8.1 &#109&#105&#108&#108&#105&#111&#110 in 2040.

Symptoms of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 can be classified as reversible or irreversible. Not all &#115&#121&#109&#112&#116&#111&#109&#115 of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 are permanent. &#65&#98&#111&#117&#116 10 &#112&#101&#114&#99&#101&#110&#116 of all &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 are reversible. &#82&#101&#118&#101&#114&#115&#105&#98&#108&#101 &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 can be triggered by &#114&#101&#97&#99&#116&#105&#111&#110&#115 to medication or endocrine abnormalities.

In general, irreversible &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97s are degenerative and incurable. Alzheimer’s or strokes can cause &#116&#104&#101&#109&#46 Symptoms include memory &#108&#111&#115&#115&#44 &#99&#111&#103&#110&#105&#116&#105&#118&#101 confusion, and the inability to problem-solve and complete multi-step &#97&#99&#116&#105&#118&#105&#116&#105&#101&#115&#44 such as preparing a meal or balancing a checkbook. The three most &#99&#111&#109&#109&#111&#110 &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 causes are Alzheimer’s, vascular &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 &#40&#105&#110&#100&#117&#99&#101&#100 by &#115&#116&#114&#111&#107&#101&#115&#41&#44 and &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 cause by Lewey bodies. They often bring

on memory &#108&#111&#115&#115 (normally the initial symptom of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97). When &#116&#104&#105&#115 occurs, the &#105&#110&#100&#105&#118&#105&#100&#117&#97&#108 should seek a medical evaluation to &#100&#101&#116&#101&#114&#109&#105&#110&#101 the &#99&#97&#117&#115&#101&#46 Proper differential diagnosis between the types of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97s requires

thorough and comprehensive &#109&#101&#110&#116&#97&#108 and physical exams by a qualified specialist such as a geriatric internist, &#110&#101&#117&#114&#111&#108&#111&#103&#105&#115&#116&#44 &#110&#101&#117&#114&#111&#112&#115&#121&#99&#104&#105&#97&#116&#114&#105&#115&#116&#44 or geropsychologist.

The earlier the &#115&#121&#109&#112&#116&#111&#109&#115 of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 are diagnosed, the &#115&#111&#111&#110&#101&#114 the &#105&#109&#112&#108&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#97&#116&#105&#111&#110 of several agents and &#108&#105&#102&#101style &#99&#104&#97&#110&#103&#101&#115 (i.e. eating a &#98&#97&#108&#97&#110&#99&#101&#100 &#100&#105&#101&#116&#44 &#105&#110&#99&#114&#101&#97&#115&#101&#100 &#112&#104&#121&#115&#105&#99&#97&#108&#44 social, and &#109&#101&#110&#116&#97&#108 activities) can be put in place to slow down the &#112&#114&#111&#103&#114&#101&#115&#115&#105&#111&#110 of &#99&#111&#103&#110&#105&#116&#105&#118&#101 decline. The benefit is

For instance, it’s &#118&#101&#114&#121 helpful for a family &#109&#101&#109&#98&#101&#114 to understand &#116&#104&#97&#116 in the middle &#115&#116&#97&#103&#101 of &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97, &#116&#104&#101&#105&#114 &#108&#111&#118&#101&#100 &#111&#110&#101&#115&#39 ability to formulate sentences and comprehend complex directions have deteriorated.

At &#116&#104&#105&#115 &#115&#116&#97&#103&#101, the family &#109&#101&#109&#98&#101&#114 &#119&#105&#108&#108 communicate baby-step &#105&#110&#115&#116&#114&#117&#99&#116&#105&#111&#110&#115 &#116&#104&#97&#116 &#105&#110&#118&#111&#108&#118&#101 one action at a &#116&#105&#109&#101&#46 For &#101&#120&#97&#109&#112&#108&#101&#44 teeth &#98&#114&#117&#115&#104&#105&#110&#103 require multiple &#115&#116&#101&#112&#115&#44 from picking up the toothbrush and &#112&#117&#116&#116&#105&#110&#103 toothpaste on the

brush to &#98&#114&#117&#115&#104&#105&#110&#103 &#111&#110&#101&#39&#115 &#116&#101&#101&#116&#104&#44 rinsing.

Since &#97&#103&#105&#116&#97&#116&#105&#111&#110 and irritability increases as &#100&#101&#109&#101&#110&#116&#105&#97 progresses, family &#109&#101&#109&#98&#101&#114s &#119&#105&#108&#108 &#107&#110&#111&#119 to speak only in a &#112&#111&#115&#105&#116&#105&#118&#101 manner. Positive &#105&#110&#115&#116&#114&#117&#99&#116&#105&#111&#110&#115 and statements are made &#119&#104&#105&#108&#101 &#97&#118&#111&#105&#100&#105&#110&#103 using the word “don’t” or “can’t”.

Negative commands are &#97&#118&#111&#105&#100&#101&#100&#44 so instead of &#115&#97&#121&#105&#110&#103&#44 “Don’t go in &#116&#104&#97&#116 &#114&#111&#111&#109&#34&#44 say instead, “Let’s go over to the other room.”
