Confidences

do not remember my name ... That is a crucial point in our dealings with people suffering from dementia. Often for a long time does not remember the name or who we are, but many studies have found that even in this condition, many patients appear to recognize that long after the person has emotional ties with them. The communication is changed ... do not know the names but their behaviors differ depending on whether the person has a connection with them ... the recognition of a person is not limited only to then say that his name!

I happen to lose your patience ... it is quite normal to lose patience at times. What is serious is not admit it. We must learn to forgive yourself! When the moments of impatience become too frequent, is a sign that you are tired and it is time to ask for help ...

the person I love is so changed since the disease does not recognize that more and live a series of contradictory feelings ... During its development, Alzheimer's disease transforms some elements of personality, often in appalling! Each step brings the family to have to deal with a new person. The contradictory feelings that are entirely legitimate, often stem from the fact that the behavior of sick family are difficult to understand and accept. Love and misunderstanding go hand in hand ...

The disease, because of cognitive loss causes strange behavior of the inevitable need to understand that these are no longer dictated by the usual logic, but by intellectual processes damaged in a person who seeks, for better or for worse, to adapt to the environment.

say false things about me, and this makes me feel sick ... when you deal with this issue we have to distinguish between someone who minds and someone whose cognitive abilities are impaired. The patient has Alzheimer without "evil" has no masks, and is vulnerable, but its capacity or the memory of an event can be confusing and lead to misunderstandings or worse ... when these incidents occur, it is important to be able to talk to someone with whom you have confidence, try not to dramatize ...
