  • I'm my father's primary caregiver. He is 87yrs old and is approaching the last stages of Alzheimer's. It's very sad to see how this once proud independent man has been reduced to just a "shell" of a man. He's more aggressive now and the tough decision of placing him in a home capable of addressing his growing needs must now be made. My heart says "Keep him home" but my mind knows it's time to let him go to a place where he will be in a safe environment. Alzheimer's is a HORRIBLE disease!

  • Before my grandma died,she had forgotten me.Now my father has it too.Why is the world like this?

  • @WenKai2 I worked previously as a caregiver for Alzheimer and Dementia patients. They may not remember you in person, but many residents I took care of had sudden urges to see people they loved, and would wander the halls all night looking for them. Their brain may be suffering, but in their heart they remember you

  • at 1:04 hell that would confuse me too!

  • what the hell this is sad i mute cuzz ill cry to this song

  • @CaitlinSays1: We placed a naturopathic approach for dementia and memory issues on our channel in the comment section.

  • Slingmoe94

  • As part of an arts funded UK project artists have spent 10 years (9000 hrs) talking to real people with dementia and compiling their memories into 'in their own words' stories. The results are extraordinary and unexpected. Please check our website trebusprojects. org and the Facebook page ''The Trebus Project Ltd".

  • As a nurse, i will take care of these people for the rest of my life with loving care that they deserve.

  • fuck this shit.. its been a long way for me.. i got rid of anxiety,social anxiety... im only 17 then now i have dementia.. never been easy to me.FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

    and now im getting bad marks in college

  • @slingmoe94 i mean highschool

  • My mother passed away on September 2nd and had dementia or Alzheimer's whichever is preferred. I saw the lead-in on this video and thought it might further help me understand her disease as she was the first in our family wrestle with this disorder.

    I agree with the post that describes this piece as was very depressing with merely a sad song and stock photos. What was your point?

  • I am sure this was not the intent, but I don't see what good this video serves. Instead, it very quickly goes through the stages of dementia, leading to death! I found it totally depressing.

  • i work at a retirement home, these people are all special in their own way, even with dementia. it saddens me that most families do not visit their loved ones because they have dementia, i think that is wrong.

  • I DEDICATED THIS VIDEO TO MY MOM!

  • I am 17 and was born with an arachnoid cyst, im viewing this video because im curious, dementia is in our family and also, increased risk of dementia is linked to arachnoid cysts and i had a seizure a few months ago and that is how i found out i had this cyst in my brain.I get severe panic attacks, i want to live a normal life but my only hope is to improve my brain health with practices such as learning instruments, reading, writing, fittness, ect.the way i see it now, my life is just beginning

  • @JozeyHall hi: I have had panic attacks all my life but never had any brain cysts. I wonder if the panic attacks could be from the brain cysts.......did any doctor ever discuss this with you?

  • Wow artistic choice in songs...

  • I was looking for a helpful video on dementia and all I see are bullshit stock photos.

  • Haha this video was great

  • Untill mankind finds a way to replicate or produce brain cells, dementia won't be cured..

  • There is a great moviet about alzheimer in youtube Drowning Mind.

  • Why cannot people understand that Alzheimers disease is such a roller coaster ride! Sometimes, patients will regain memory for years but the facts are that this disease will take their life! God Bless my friend, Bob! He will be in a nursing home soon.

  • My best friend has this! He put a knife to my sisters throat not knowing it and was arrested! He spent 2 days in jail and I had to tell them that that was not him and they diagnosed him with Alzheimers but he would not tell me had the disease! He was ok for 4 yrs and is going downhill now!

  • My Grandma has dementia it is such a heartbreaking illness. She just is not the woman she once was. She has inspired me to use my skills to help work with dementia sufferers and I am currently doing a placement with dementia sufferers helping to aid their memory via the use of song, drama, etc :) I love it!

  • This is so scary, I'm terrified my ma or da will end up like this, my ma worked in an old peoples home and I've seen this for myself, it seems so hard to deal with for everyone

  • this is worse than cancer.

  • @KHORDIxPRODUCTIONS This disease called Alzheimers is a disease straight from the gates of hell!

  • I will visit.thank you for your time to respond.

  • :-(

  • thank you for your kindness, I feel better knowing someone is there that knows.I think i might be overreating to her angered state.not focusing on whats really the matter. if she has dementia,i'll be in contact. thank you.kristy aka pin up gurl13

  • I dont know what to do,she still thinks she's in control, and she isnt.her bills,our home,i dont know aht to so.she is so strong wiled and mean now.where do i go to seek help.i am more hopeless as the minutes go by.I dont even know if she has dementia,how would i know?

  • @pinupgurl13 Clearly, there is no easy solution, even though it is obvious to you and everybody else. I would be happy to help you, but can't do it in this little space. Please come to dementia care secrets .com and sign up (pick the free membership option). My name is Donahue Vanderhider.

  • i love my grandma jenelle shes ths sweetest person in the whole world and god bless her, BUT SHES OLD AS FUCK!

  • Wow.......

    I cried all the way through that. Great choice of music. My dad had dementia before he died. I will use this as an introduction to Alzheimers & 'dealing with challenging behaviour' for my students.

  • shit video

  • Dying is a nice thing.

    Whatever happens after death is no-doubt better then dealing with the delusions.

    My grandmom cries constantly because one moment she is communicating with fake people, in a completely different place.

    Then she realizes shes still in her house and those things never existed and she'll start crying until she forgets what shes crying about. (which isnt very long)

  • Many patients and their family's do not realise that they can reclaim any fees that have been paid out of their own pocket for ongoing care for a loved one. Even if the patient has passed away, the family can still reclaim their lost inheritance.

    Families who have loved ones suffering with alzheimers and other debilitating illnesses should contact us without delay and let us get the ball rolling for you. We operate a 'no win no fee' and there are no upfront charges to make either.

  • I'm sorry but what is this stupid video? a bunch of stock photos and sappy music is supposed to educate me about dementia? this video is insulting to anyone who has actually experienced a loved one with this disease.

  • that would be cool to always holusinate.... eccsept at night....

  • @CHOSENMARINE Re-think your words! People live in fear day and night, people re-living the war....its not cool.

  • My mother is 87 and we have noticed she had been going down hill for about a year. She was diagnosed with alzheimers. If this ever happens to me.....I hope someone will be kind enough to kill me.....I'm serious

  • my mom has had this awful disease for 2 yrs.she is only 56 yrs old.=(

  • @caramelbabii90I placed a naturopathic approach on my channel, it will remain posted for about a week.

  • Trying to add a positive to this, at least you forget your stuggles and heartaches and pain throughout your life. Thats gotta be a plus right?

  • the music is a bit disturbing to me lol

  • Just reading these comments

    make me wanna cry and hope for the best for there family and mine :')

  • My mother has Alzheimers, and is at a point in her life where she is virtually in her own little world. And it is getting harder and harder to get through to her. Most of the time she can't even communicate and you can understand her, just a jumble of words. It has been like hell on my dad, she doesn't even know who he is. And we recently had to move her in with my sister so she can get around the clock care by my sister and my moms nurse. Its a tough road, we have to remember the good times :)

  • @cmcb09 I feel your pain, my mom also has Alzheimers. My dad also feels like your dad, sometimes she doesn't know who he is.

  • Best of wishes for you and your family, may God be with you :)

  • My FIL is at this stage. 24 hours a day he is in his own little world, doesn't know us, doesn't want to be at home, keeps trying to sneak out of the house to see his Mummy and Daddy who are no longer here....

    It is the saddest thing to watch and it is heartbreaking. So awful for his family & wife. I feel for you and anyone else going through this x

  • @cmcb09 lol!

  • @cmcb09 I'm sorry. I had a family member to that passed away indirectly because of dementia.

  • @cmcb09

    Why don't you just shoot her?

  • @efisthead thats mean

  • @efisthead What ind of a sick reaction is this? Wait until some one you love gets alzheimer, you'll cry every single day...

  • @hutseflutsel

    why would i cry? i dont have alhziemers.

  • @efisthead Read what I wrote. If some you love gets alzheimer, you'll cry everyday. And you wouldnt think 1 second about that sick joke you made. Obviously you dont know what it is to know someone who has Alzheimer, otherwise you wouldnt react like this.

  • @cmcb09 I'm going on the Alzheimer's walk on Sunday. God bless your family

  • scientists have already found a drug that lessens the symptoms but they make folk pay for it.

  • been working in healthcare for 10 years, taken care of hundreds elderly patients with every affliction you can think of, every one of these photos are lame poser wannabe's

  • @BugNougat you dont show much compassion for a care worker

  • my dad got this at 51 years.

  • My mother developed dementia in 2005...hers was a type that progressed very, very quickly...from onset to death was about a year and a half...ironically, her brother who was 6 yrs older than her went through the same thing at the same time! Both of them are now dead. -_-

  • my grandmother got diagnosed today with early signs of this :(

  • My Grandma just got diagnosed with this today for me... If you could send me a PM on how you handled it emotionally i would really appreciate it

  • This is sad.

  • my grandmother has been sick for a year and today I went to visit her and she ask me who I was. I know she didn't mean to say that but It broke my heart. My grandmother is like my second mother.

  • everything here sucks balls wtf

  • Brain chip, CHECK MY SITE!

  • i cant stand this song

  • She wasn't always charming. Before I came to care for her 7 years ago, she hadn't bathed in 7 months. And the 1st year of caring for her, she was a "flatlined" depressed dead whale. None of my efforts to help her changed her attitude. My sister had written the doctor to have her stuffed away, and the doctor had the forms all filled out. After over one year of futility, my efforts BEGAN to pay off, & she improved in enjoyment of life & stability...with 24/7 care, attention, research, etc.

  • My mother actually had a resurrection that I tapee. I sensed one of her Rx's, Ditropan, might be giving her memory problems. I asked the doctor if I could try without, & after about 3 weeks, I noticed improvement, then asked her if SHE noticed improvement. Yes! I grabbed the camera and recorded her amazing description. (See my channel.) Unfortunately, this doctor changed an Rx to Zocor, and she degraded again. A halving of Rx this got some improvement. One can do a lot to help an Alz patient!

  • Just to clear things up. There are reversible dementias, which are therefore treatable. Alzheimer's disease is not one of those. You do not recover form this dreadful disease.

  • fuck it is not nice to accidentally press PC

  • yeaa my grandpas dieng of this

    its hurts like hell =[

    i miss him soooo much.

    its the worst disease becuase thuer loved ones have to literally watch thier zlazeimers bivtom/ loved one waste away and forget them =[[[

  • my granda died of alzheimers..i know this sounds bad but i would have rather him die of sumthing else its a fucking bad way to die not rembering any of his family its hard to take

  • THAT IS SO RUDE

  • Alzheimers is horrible and always remember my best friend Bob, I will never forget you! You will always will be in my thoughts and prayers!

  • Alzheimers is one disease you will never forget when you knew a family member or a best friend! Alzheimers is worse than cancer!

  • 'Alzheimers is one disease you will never forget' 

    Ironic bastard

  • Breaks my heart to se My friend suffer!

  • My best friend in the world just got diagnosed with Alzheimers and I am crying my eyes out!

  • people sjud be euthanized immediatly after diagnoses

  • I completely disagree with you because my friend came out of his dementia!

  • old people who shit themselves. You think they should be taken care of for 10 years for public funding?

  • Why do YOU assume public funding? Where are YOU in relation to your relatives why might get this disease? Roll up your sleeves, get latex gloves, care. Plan ahead. Don't assume public funds are going to care for you and your relatives. Look into the face of the future and put yourself into it.

  • @Anatolia90105 I work as a nurse with people with dementia, people who 'shit themselves' for over 15 years. Hmm after what you said, I think I'll just leave them in their own shit! What would you do when your mother will be like that? You will clean her! These people made the world the way it is, in my countr they wre fighting in the worldwar. The gave us freedom, so if anyone deserves public funding ITS THEM!

  • NOT! WRONG! Sappy videos like this are not serving purpose if that's what you get! Alz is often misdiagnosed...no clear marker yet. Mom snapped out of a 10-year dementia ("midlevel Alzheimers" dx'd ), but recently I took her off Oxybutynin & after several weeks, "she" CAME BACK. I filmed it; see my channel! Before that, I gave Mom 24/7 a Life fit for her level of functioning. Listen to Lauren Kessler's YT interview to find the LIFE within Alzheimers. "Dancing with Rose" book. YOU get HUMAN!

  • My best friend was diagnosed with Alzheimers and I am devastated!

  • you don't get better from dementia what the hell ar you talking abaut?

  • One CAN get better from dementia. So many causes...drug side effects. Over consumption of sugar, dehydration. Depression, heat stroke. Dementia fever? My mother woke up one day a zombie. Yikes, a stroke? No she had a fever infection from cat scratch that put her in the hospital for 5 days, on IV antibiotics. Then, she was a zonked for a month. From your bad spelling and grammar, lack of language skills = Dementia. Mid-level Alzheimer's. To the trash heap with you, as you have so judged others.
