There is dementia๐ง ๐ธ
When you hear dementia, the image of forgetfulness is strong, but in reality there are many scenes where both the person and the family think "there is something!."
Like my mother, when dementia progresses, troubles gradually increase in our lives.
This time, we will introduce "some things" that are often seen in people with dementia.
Ask the same thing over and over again.
"What day is it today?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
Even if you answered a few minutes ago, you may be asked repeatedly because it is difficult to remember.
โก Forget where you put things
Even though I put away my wallet, passbook, keys, etc.,
"Where did you put it?"
Sometimes, you may not be able to find it even if you look for it.
โข Money management becomes difficult
A common early stage of dementia is a change in money management.
Forget to pay utility bills,
Buying the same thing over and over again,
I don t know how much money I have in my wallet.
The more well-managed you used to be, the easier it may be for your family to notice changes.
โฃ Believe that it was taken by relatives
If you can't find your wallet or bankbook,
"Someone stole it."
My family took it.
There are times when you may think that.
In fact, in most cases, they forget it themselves, but for the person themselves, they really feel that way, so if you deny it strongly, anxiety and anger may increase.
โค I remember the old days well
Even if you forget what happened yesterday,
"Work when I was young"
"Memories of my childhood"
There are things that I remember in surprising detail.
โฅ Tell the same story over and over again
He s talking to me for the first time,
"I've already heard that story."
Sometimes you look strange when you're told that.
Open the refrigerator several times.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Open and close the refrigerator and open it again a few minutes later.
I think the TV content is real.
Watching dramas and news,
I have to help this person.
it's going to be tough.
It may be perceived as a real event.
It takes time to prepare to go out.
I don't know what to take with me.
You can check the contents of the bag many times,
Sometimes you can put the same thing in multiple places.
I still think, "I'm okay."
Even if you have dementia, it can be hard to notice on your own.
Therefore, between the family,
"I forgot."
"I didn't forget!"
It is not uncommon for such exchanges to occur.
What your family wants you to remember.
People with dementia are not doing it on purpose.
Even if you lose things, it becomes difficult to manage money, or make remarks that doubt your relatives, you are living hard in anxiety.
There are difficult scenes as a family,
โ "Let's look for it together."
โ "It's okay."
โ "Let's check back later."
By saying words that can be relieved, you may calm down.
Knowing the "certain" of dementia makes it easier to understand that it is not a "troublesome behavior" but a "symptom due to illness." I would like to spend time using the support around me without overdoing myself and my family. ๐ธ
