I thought this video was not only educational, but explained dementia in a more detailed and simplified way to understand what's happening. My Dad has Alzheimers/ Dementia and 10 days ago he was fine, looking forward to seeing me, now he's in a geriatric/psych ward sedated, in th aggressive/ combative stage. It's like he's a vegetable talking gibberish, the next i got him to say he loved me, but not my name. I can't wrap my brain around it, he snapped over night! Dr. Bourgeios explained it well!
