Before my grandpa died, he had Alzheimer’s really bad. When he looked in a mirror he thought he was seeing his brother and started talking to his reflection.
@TheDodicat what is bloody funny, unfortunately people do pass away from dementia and you laughing face, which is very from funny. Let's hope someone who you know has got dementia or god for bid you because it is horrible illness to have.
I'm in my twenties and have been suffering from amnesia two times. Here is what I learned: You don't have to feel sorry for the people that loose their memory. One can still be happy in the moment, without knowing where or who one is. I can vaguely remember that during the period of my amnesia, I was making jokes and I was laughing. So if you ever meet a person that has Alzheimer, just try to make that person feel good. There is still quality in such a life.
Oh wow, I will definitely keep this comment in mind. If you don’t mind me asking, what is it like having amnesia? And what are some things that may cause it?
@@z.tuv1 I have thought quiet long about how to convey this feeling. Maybe picture it like this: 1. I assume you read this in your apartment on your computer. Now imaging that a split second afterwords, you'd be sitting at a train station. You'd be thinking: 'How the hell did I end up here???', and immediately try to trace back your last actions or ask for help. But amnesia does not feel like that, it feels more like this: 2. Assuming you read this in your apartment at your computer, but a split second afterwards, you sit at a train station - but with a half-eaten sandwich in your hand, chewing. You'd know immediately know that your brain is not functioning properly. The most terrifying thing is the mental power that one spends to try to recover one's memories, without any success. That being said - it is really important that people without memory get the feeling that they are being taken care of. Plus, they can still be happy in the moment. Tell them a joke that they love. You can do it a hundred times, it will still be good.
My grandmother is beginning to show symptoms 😔, she hasn't been to the doctor yet but she has started getting lost in familiar areas and my grandpa is getting concerned. I pray she doesn't, I've seen what it can do to families.
*I am 74-years, I was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease some years ago, I always like to use my experience in a positive way to educate others. Having dementia for me was lonely, isolating and scary. But when people share their stories, it can provide inspiration, hope and a welcome reminder that you are not alone. I support the Walk to End Alzheimer’s using several western medications but all to no avail. Homeocure Worldwide natural cure medicine did wonders. I have a wonderful family who also supported and guided me through the process. Don't let drug companies keep you as a slave to their mediocre medications. Don't let them tell you there's nothing that will help you. Today I can say that I'm living life instead of surviving it. For more info, check: **homeocureworldwide.blogspot.com*
All the love to those who suffer and also their family members. I hope that one day we will be able to find a cure for it. Thanks for that video. (also THANKS IWAN FOR VOICING IT! 💓)
Maan I'm sorry, dementia is an asshole. My mom has been diagnosed. She's only 53, dunno what to make of it. Ever since we've known I couldn't cope. I'll probably get it too... Just sad I guess spend time with the family eventually you'll get used to it and it will be more familiar.
@@dsmiley9934 Dementia main cause is diet, too much meat esp processed meat link to dementia, Fat in meat just block the nevers. Check graph of dementia all over world, Dementia is lowest amongs vegitarian country like India. There is something about diet which plays a crutial rule in trigering dementia.
@@dsmiley9934 Infact iam from india and i never heard about having dementia, here even people of age over 100 have more sharper intellect esp in village side.
My grandma has moderate to advanced dementia. At first it started out with Grandma saying "Oh what is the word I'm trying to think of again?" Minor stuff. This was 2 years ago. I have been a care giver for a while as well. Over the last 6 months I have had the honor of working at the same memory care facility my grandma is at. I am so glad I get to help take care of her and make sure she is ok. Now her dementia looks so much different. It has gotten to the point where every day she asks me "Am I staying in this room tonight? I have 4 others just like it." No matter how much I explain she only has one room, she always doubts it. A lot of the time she also believes that her son just leaves "the boys" with her. And that she never knows where they are. She asks me most days "Have you seen the boys? I just had them but they are hiding now. I can't believe he (her son) keeps doing this." She also tells me she has hallucinations of bugs crawling on her, and of a man crawling into bed with her every night. He doesn't say or do anything and just vanishes after a bit. He does not resemble anyone She ever knew. She isn't scared but calls him a "ghost." Sometimes it is as if she knows her thoughts are just fabrications, but sometimes she is convinced they are real. She is the sweetest lady and it breaks my heart seeing her go through so much stress. She recently told me that "nothing feels real anymore." I can imagine the feeling is unparalleled.
My grandpa died from really bad dementia.He keep talking things and remebering things from his childhood.He almost escaped from our house because he said he was going to see the new water tower that was build in his childhood.Also he couldnt recognize my grandma and thought she was a witch but he could recognize me and my parents.Fly high😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🕊 Edit:Sorry for bad english
My Grandpa has been diagnosed with dementia. So I've been trying to learn about this. Many of my family members have suffered with Alzheimer's. My grandpa is probably the closest person I know, and it scares me that one day he's gonna forget somethings. I've imagined what it'll feel that he would forget about me. I feel scared and sad.I usually make stupid jokes when I comment, sometimes I would just bully people. I've never expessed my feelings in my comments, I do expect people to make fun of me. My grandpa was in prison for two or so years before he was diagnosed. I would spend time with him all the time when I was little, I would do everything with him he was my best friend. Over time I didn't spend as much time with him, I moved across the country I made new friends. I moved back and moved to my dad (my parents are divorced). I went to a new school. It's been a while scene I have seen him, but I eventually move back with my mom. My mom lives with my grandpa I spend more time with him, my grandpa would spoil me. I would do everything with him, I would talk to him, watch movies, eat together nothing could stop us. My grandpa was a drug dealer and people wanted his money. People would try to kill him when he was younger, so his health isn't really good due to his gun/ stab wounds. My grandpa couldn't do as much things as normal 60 year olds can, my grandpa would struggle trying to pick up things, walking, carry things, going down the stairs, etc. I would help him with these things, it make me feel bad seeing him do these things. I would help him with those things, I expected him to live a regular life. After I heard him get diagnosed I searched up about dementia, and I was shocked and worried. I feel like I have a limited-time with him. He's my only grandpa due to my other grandpa dying in 92'. I try to spend as much time as I have with him. I pray for families struggling with loved ones with dementia. I pray for y'all.
.Do anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including herpes, diabetics, asthma, Cancer, hepatitis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was cured of Irritable bowel syndrome and my Sister and her Husband were cured of herpes by dr Osemuahu who uses natural herbs to cure different kind of illness. Even Dr. Osemuahu proved to the whole world that natural herbs can cure all diseases and he cured countless of people using natural herbs. I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm in trying herbs. Contact Dr Osemuahu(whatsap no): +2349053317809 or email: dr.o.osemuahu@gmail.com God bless you
I’m so so sorry for you. I really sincerely do hope things go for the best in your life. If you do need to talk about it, you can reply to me. I’ll always be here.
I know what your going through I recently lost my grandma who had dementia she had it for almost 5 years I lost my best friend and a second mom to me but I’m happy she is in a new home with my grandpa
My grandpa also has dementia,its bad,his movement is still fine,just as slow as any other 80y old.But the memorie loss is terrible,we were eating and after finishing the pie he asked "when will i get a slice"...but it is nice that he remembers everything normally that was before his diagnosis.
I remember my Grandmother repeating the same thing over and over always when she was getting dementia. She was the sweetest person in the world! I miss my Grandmother dearly ❤️
My grandfather was recently diagnosed with dementia at 88 years old. We are heartbroken as a family... he was always the absolute sharpest man up top so this really came as a shock to us. It seems to be progressing very quickly, and he is now convinced that my grandmother, his wife of almost 60 years, is having an affair with another man. He really believes this and now treats her horribly. I really don't know which is worse - seeing my grandfather gradually disappear or watching my grandmother live in pain, loneliness and sadness. COVID has kept them isolated from the world (like many). What a horrible thing, I would not wish it upon anyone.
Dementia is not the name of a particular disease, but the name of a large group of symptoms (syndrome). Some people call dementia “forgetting disease”, but dementia is not just another name for forgetting, it also has many other symptoms - difficulty remembering new things, unable to understand logic, hesitating to interact with people, Unable to do normal work, difficult to handle my emotions, personality changes, etc
*My husband was diagnosed with multifactorial Alzheimer's disease. This also triggered epileptic fits. To be blunt, all the prescription drugs we’ve used did not yield any positive improvement. Lately I have found that Homeocure Worldwide natural treatment along with adopting a healthy lifestyle has helped him recover completely. You may look it up for more info: **homeocureworldwide.blogspot.com*
Tip for people who have this monster : try to keep a diary of everything you know and keep it somewhere obvious and make the tittle "the story of [your name]" and make a picture of you on the book.
Something to bare in mind is you don't have to be incredibly old to develop dementia. I work at a care home and we've had multiple people in their 50s and 60s come in, though they *usually* only stay for a short period of time, like a week or two while their husband/wife has some time off taking care of them.
My great grandma was just diagnosed with dementia and she called me today to ask me what day it was... The doctor said she might start forgetting people soon, because she forgot her cats name. Praying for her 😇😔
My grandmother had been suffering through dimentia from the past 4-5 years, I was very close to her and never thought of losing her.. but this year she passed away.. I miss her so much. Rip grandma❤️
Never thought I’d listen to a factual video by Ramsay Bolton My pa has dementia , he’s had it for a year and got 4 books on it and doing so much research
Before my grandfather died,he had a serious case of alzheimer's. He only remembered me and my father in my present and past and recognized me and him well for some reason,but in other cases he usually did not remember any other people unless they explained. It was sad to see his memories deteriorate...
Iwan lost his grandmother, Beryl, to Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia in 2008, aged 83. Iwan is joining Alzheimer’s Research UK in urging people to share the film with friends, family and colleagues to help address misunderstanding of dementia.
Nick Stea he isnt Ramsey Bolton...a fictional character in a fictional world. Iwan just plays him. It does not mean that he hasnt experienced this before.
I work in healthcare. Death is a luxury. I feel really really bad when someone’s son or daughter comes visiting asking if you think their father/mother remember them. Breaks my heart every time.
One exercise I believe to help short term memory, which is the first memory to lose. Out of a deck of 70 ish cards I went from remembering only 3 words random words to remembering 7 words. I'm hoping this can help people as my grandmother died from Alzheimer's and it was a sad sight. The video is on my site with the least amount of views.
This film is one of the best I have seen and helps family carers understand why a person who lives with a diagnosis of dementia sees the world differently but they remain the same person.It is a key factor to be included in family education
Dementia is such a horrible thing to watch a loved one deal with. It’s just so sad watching them slowly lose their mind. I hope no one ever has to watch a loved one go through having dementia. Idk if it’s even possible but I hope one day maybe they can find a cure or something to prevent dementia an other diseases like it that people usually get when they get older. Watching your parents or grandparents who always seemed like a super hero to you growing up get weak an lose their ability to control their body an mind is a feeling that’s so horrible I can’t even really describe what it’s like to go through having to take care of someone that’s dealing with things like that an watching them slowly wither away.
My grandmother suffered a head injury after a fall when someone ran into her with a pallet jack at the grocery store. She developed dementia and passed away about a year later. It was horrible seeing her go from a lucid old lady cracking jokes and very kind to everybody to a shell of a human in such a short time. You can see in their eyes, the person who used to look at you with warmth now views you as a stranger with suspicion and hostility, they are no longer there. If someone comes in saying they're your grandson, but you have no memory of them, wouldnt you think they were suspicious?
I don’t even know anyone with dementia or Alzheimer’s and I’m just crying on my bed. It’s just so sad to think people have forgotten who they were and forgotten how to to very basics things like how to eat.

*So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s. Feeling absolutely shattered, heartbroken and drained, working with different physicians across the country with little or no improvement. I was exhausted and overwhelmed to look any further. Crying a lot through frustration, anger and despair, But today with the help of Homeocure Worldwide Natural Medicine, my mother is completely healthy and well again. I think we only need more support and sunlight to overcome this dreadful disease. Search for support regardless and don't stop until you get it. With Homeocure Worldwide treatment, there is hope, don't give up! contact them on their youtube channel for more info*
My 86 year old grandmother's suffering with dementia and needs carers to assist her every day. Only found out the news about the carers yesterday and it literally broke my heart, I can't stop crying as she's my only grandparent left.
Came here after Nebula Genomics sent me this week's reports. Just found out I'm in the 87th percentile for predisposition to Lewy body demential. Live well everyday people.
I'm here at 3:38AM, my grandfather is not feeling well, he's talking to people and only he alone in the room. I'm stress out just praying thing be better😭 please pray for me..
My late grandmother suffered dementia in her later days I was a kid of 5 years old I had to take care of her Not a pretty sight people She couldnt even say she needed to go to bathroom So take care of your health people Eat and drink healthy and pray for your health if you dont want to end up like her
My great great great grandmother Nana Loudermilk had a Alzheimer's disease and moved out of her house to move in Tradition of Smyrna memory care nursing home 2 months ago.
Wrong the thing is the mods capture the perfect way the disease works. You slowly lose your mind your memory. Bf can rember gf so in the tutorial she is not there. Bf probably didnt rember her and he shut the door on her. The mods isnt done but you can she how depressed bf is he looks tired and he looks like he has not gone to sleep for a long time. Well that's it.
I am a Physical Therapist and I am trying to inform as many people as I can about Alzheimer’s and Dementia. I have a video on my channel about forgetfulness, memory, and the difference between normal aging & dementia. Let’s keep up the good work and keep these videos coming!
Sad fact: in the last phase of dementia people sing their favorite song before they die *people who's favorite song was Rickroll: you know the rules and so do i*
You know It got me thinking, having studied psychology at Alison Institute in Ireland and having attained my Diploma in Psychology their, I can say that Psychologically our character is generally a build up and composition of developmental psychology that our environments and people around us have shaped us into, this developmental psychology continues throughout our entire lives to continually, (together with personal choices) mold us into our older and more matured selves. With dementia, have your whole life in some cases scrubbed from your memory would make us no more than an infant toddler again. For those that have experienced a painful life it could be a blessing to them, for those that have had a happy and fruitful life it would obviously be a disaster................many of us try so hard to educate and grow ourselves into becoming more knowledgeable and wise human beings only in some cases to have it stripped away, but not just that we also have the deep love we feel from long established relationships stripped away from us where we no longer feel love towards the one's we cared about as we have no memories to support that love. Dementia is an evil and cruel disease. I hope one day humanity see's a day where this affliction upon our specie is nothing but what it stood for a lost memory in life's existence.

My grandpa has dementia, and it is very bad.. he could harshly hit someone for just saying no. And he makes a huge mess like throwing toothpaste all around, eating a soap bar and even talking to pictures the last time I remember properly talking to him was probably when I was 5 or 6 idk I just feel sad for my younger siblings that didn’t even get a chance to play or actually do anything with him for them he will always be like that. I am just grateful I atleast got to have fun with him for 3-4 years. It makes me cry even thinking of how jolly and great of a person he was and now look at him..
im just a 15 (turning 16 this april) but the short term memory of mine i always forgot about them. like i just use my phone and after several minutes i forgot where i put it. :(
An RC circuit (Resistor-Capacitor) using an integrator Op-amp can simultane a Tau protein's role in developing dementia. RC represents the time constant, Tau, in a system which charges and discharges current and electrons in time.
Please, for the love of god, Friday Night Funkin fans, TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY, THIS ISN’T SOME SHIT YOU USE FOR YOUR KEITH X PICO FICS, THIS IS A REAL FUCKING ISSUE, TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY
Alcoholism is a disease it causes a lot of harm to the human body. Such as acidosis and deterioration of the brain and kidney and liver . minerals help with restoring the brain. moringa droplets may help. it is all natural and packed with minerals such as iron and zinc and magnesium .
My grandma suffered Alzheimer dementia before she died. She slept on the carpet, thinking that it was her bed, she was talking to the mirror at night time, she always tried to get out of the house, and got very irritated at my cousins, mostly at me. Only 2 of her daughters and her son were remember by her. She kicked me and my mother out 2 times and one day we were forced to sedate her because she screamed for no reason. Eventually she died in the morning of Christmas. Dementia sure is awful, I do not wish anyone to get it.
It didn't really explain what dementia is... They did in a scientific way however I didn't really see a clear explanation for what it does and what is affected...
Human gene editing will solve this one day. Don't be afraid of progress. Yea human make mistakes but we make them so we can become better and useful to society
i can't remember where/how/when i got some of my memories. Is there something wrong with my brain? Like i ask myself "how did i ever know that?" "I don't remember knowing that thing".
The brain is a very complex organ. If I were you I would not be concerned. Forgetfulness especially over events from the past is very common and mixing such thoughts and being unable to link them to specific origins is a fairly normal issue for many people. If you think about dreams that is our brain trying to sort our memories out and log them effectively.
I never met my great grandfather, dying in his 80's around 1990's to mid 2000's, he had Alzheimer's. not dementia, Alzheimer's. i did meet my great grandmother. she died mid 2010. (Around June). she was showing early signs of dementia/Alzheimer's too. but she died before she could get a diagnosis. RIP my great grandmother 1916ish - 2010. she was 95 when she died which is lucky considering my grandmother was about 64 when she had died. She's still going strong with my grandpa. He is 79, 80 in October. Grandma is 77 this year. Be safe during these tough times! fifth lockdown, ugh! From Australia
It really depends how old you are. It's extremely unlikely to have dementia when you're less than 50 yo. What they've described are some general symptoms, if you have any SIGNIFICANT memory loss, ask help from a doctor.
