Alzheimers, Dementia, and Mild Cognitive Impairment: An Overview 

Thank you. An overview with great clarity & information to keep in mind.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you. Very informative.

Very informative! I used your video as a review for the chapter I'm studying now, it helped me to better understand bigger pictures. Thank you!

9:50 - the "watch-event" is not merely a slip-of-the-tongue. As a matter of fact there are (especially aphasic) patients who name an object whithout becoming aware of it. I remember a patient (ironically also trying to name a watch) who said "I give up. I cannot find the word. Here you get your watch back."

Well, I am all of 59 years old, and I've been "blessed" by Dementia. It is the disease my father died from, so perhaps there is some connection there. Whatever the case, if you are diagnosed with MCI or Early Onset Dementia (like me) do the following: Forget all the B.S. about what do eat or drink to make MCI or Dementia less aggressive. While MCI may revert to normal cognition, Dementia (of whatever type) will not. Sadly, you are basically given a death sentence, and the "happy" part of it is you don't know WHEN you will die, and you don't know how horrid you will feel before you actually die. I literally watched my father die as he lay on his hospital bed, and NONE of it was anything but excruciating.

Expecting dementia myself, due to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, 1984, car accident, aged 34. Recently returned home, after 8 days, respite care in an aged care nursing home. Parkinson disease, also can create dementia. As I understand ageing now, we are born as cabbages, under the cabbage plant. Our cognition grows, from baby, to child, to teenager, to adult. Old age is the reverse of this: to present-time teenager, then instantaneous-only child, to have-to-mouth baby, without cognition. Dirt to cabbage, to human, to cabbage, to dirt. Exactly as "God" designed, perhaps. All very natural. Many people avoid "old age" by exiting the ageing cycle early. Death in the pre-birth, baby, child or teenage stages. The other way to avoid this normal aged cycle is too just return to the "cabbage" (no cognition) stage before adult cognition is attained. The method used by myself, as a social worker, to teach geriatrics, is to show how zombie life can be experienced instantly and quickly. Just use factory chemicals, such as ethanol, marijuana, "spice", opiates (heroin, fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, etc). Russia and northern European people like zombie life, with overdoses of alcohol. Long term exposure too these factory chemicals can greatly create "dementia" permanently, instead of just temporarily. There are other ways to create dementia. Cognitive fatigue can be created by long hours of non-sleep. The best way to do this is via factory chemicals, including caffeine, amphetamines, "dance" and similar social rituals.

Thanks for getting dressed up for this interview.

Great info. However you both pronounce the word AlZheimer is not AlTheimer as you both have said multiple times during this video..

ALTIMERS? Come on, people.
