So basically, a lot of people that are diagnosed with bipolar disorder might actually be showing early signs of this type of dementia and they will only be diagnosed when it's already very late, because most doctors are unaware this might be a possibility. Very sad.

My husband first experienced confusion and loss of memory in May of 2012 while undergoing rehab for alcoholism. Being home seemed to help him until 2017 when he gradually began experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms. He had four to five hours a day where he wanted to get a "greyhound" to "go home." Also, he thinks I am his sister and believes he has rented a car (he hasn't driven in 5 years). His personal hygiene was in the tank, it was necessary for him to change two to three times a day. Without long-term insurance for his care, it was becoming stressful to care for him. This year our family friend "Ken" introduced and started him on BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS for Alzheimers and Dementia, 2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally gone. No case of Alzheimer’s, hallucination, forgetfulness, and others, he’s strong again and able to go about daily activities. Contact Dr. Rohan today via whatsapp +393510553632 As this may also help you or your loved one get rid of dementia.

The information in this video is priceless. I didn't know anything about this matter until I found myself in the same situation. I goggled how to call 911 to assist someone in another state and your video came up. The information provided by your guest, Rebecca, was on point. I was able to find a Public Safety Access phone number that was not 911, and the dispatcher immediately assigned the proper responder to go to the assistance of the person out of state. Thank you for this information.
I was diagnosed with psp by a neuro thru a scan which he had me take at the hospital he worked at. was in denial that i had psp. he saw the hummimg bird. never went for a second opinion...tke ..big mistake now my kids believe him. I am67 dont drive , have to reley on my daughter. I do have a stiff neck hurts in the morning . take tyenol.....or a cold compress. have tinnitus. i dont have the tremors they talk about in pd. and dizzy 24/7 for the past 3 years not getting any better
My wife is only 59 and can barely walk and is now gagging at solid food. It's been the toughest thing to ever deal with. Our battle with Alzheimer’s started in August 2015. The diagnosis didn't happen until February 2021. By 2016 she couldn't drive and she lost her job in August 2015 because she suddenly forgot how to do math, and a marh teacher that was a no go. I don't know how much more time we have. I miss her.
In August 2015 she had what we think was a stroke and went to moderate dementia immediately, but she really hid it from me, not that I did a memory test as her primary symptoms were catastrophic anxiety, and in light of her age we just thiugh this was anxiety. Stage three was awful, worse year of my life, no meds or diagnosis, and it lasted like 6 months of hell, pure hell. By November 2021 she was incontinent and was in memory care, but I brought her home. She barely has words and she gags on food.

If she will drink fluids, just let her drink and don’t worry about solid foods if she’s late/ end-stage in this disease. This e-book may also be helpful to you melissabphd-s-school.teachable.com/p/my-downloadable-516325
