@every.day.medicine: Dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed—it changes the lives of everyone who loves them. There is a unique kind of heartbreak in watching someone slowly lose their memories, their independence, and eventually their recognition of the people who have loved them for years. For so many families, the grieving begins long before their loved one is actually gone. We need more empathy for the patients living through this disease and for the families caring for them every single day. #Dementia #Alzheimers #dementiaawareness #medicine

It is completely inhumane to allow dementia patients to suffer the way they do

My mom has dementia and I am exhausted. I don't know how much more I can take. It has drained me and I have gotten so depressed. She can get very agitated too, which is never fun to be around

if you have dementia and some confusion and still happy isn't as bad as someone who has a non stop yelling or anxiety and personality change. I work with behavioral dementia and these are the worst when nothing you do can give them comfort and constantly yelling or upset.

From experience, it's the most horrible disease, I'd rather have inoperable cancer

My mom has it, along with cancer. I mourn for her everyday because I lose more of her every single day.

I was 74-year-old caregiver my specialty is dementia. The sad part is when they realize that their mind is going and they can't remember and then they get agitated and mean I have a lot of patience and I don't mind helping and thinking for them but I do let them try to help themselves not to put them in danger but to bring back their dignity

I agree my dad had cancer and that was awful. He didn’t end up passing from that but my mom has dementia and this is 10xs worse. He passed away 5 months ago and the death of my dad made her need 24/7 care by me almost overnight

You are 💯correct. It is jarring to watch someone you love unlearn everything they’ve ever known , including, eventually, the basics of life: how to eat, swallow, walk, and breathe.

I agree. I'm currently dealing with my Maw Maw who raised me go through it. She in in the later stages of dementia. As of last week she has stared having violent outburst at the memory care unit she is in. Last night she pulled a fire alarm, spit medicine at a nurse, and tried to kick open doors. Its the hardest thing I've ever had to witness in my life.
