ALZHEIMER IS´NT ALL...
Dementia is a general term used to describe a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a specific disease but a group of symptoms caused by various disorders affecting the brain. The most common types of dementia include Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and vascular dementia.
Struggling to perform routine tasks, such as cooking or managing finances.
Mood swings, depression, anxiety, or changes in personality.
Avoiding social interactions and hobbies they once enjoyed.
Sleep disturbances, difficulties with food intake and unclear pain symptoms and other somatic symptoms are not seldom.
Caregiving can be demanding, so prioritize your physical and emotional well-being. Don't hesitate to ask for help when needed.
Remember, each person's experience with dementia is unique, and tailoring the care approach to their specific needs and preferences is essential.
