One of the blessings of dementia is that, as the disease progresses, the person no longer understands that they're going through the changes and they become less afraid. And so, even though the disease is worse, the fear and the anxiety is less.
Ever wondered what dementia really entails and how it affects not just the person diagnosed but also their loved ones? In this episode of 'Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi', host Tzvi Hilsenrath, a licensed clinical social worker, sheds light on this complex condition. Dementia is more than just memory loss; it's a multifaceted issue that impacts behavior, cognition, and daily life.
Tzvi breaks down the most common forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's and Lewy Body disease, explaining how they uniquely affect the brain and behavior. He also dives into why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for those dealing with dementia. You'll learn about the importance of medical help and how alcohol can exacerbate the condition. Tzvi offers practical advice for caregivers, from setting realistic expectations to self-care tips that ensure you don't burn out.
One of the most touching parts of the episode is when Tzvi talks about finding small blessings amidst the challenges of dementia, such as reduced anxiety as the disease progresses. Whether you're caring for someone with dementia or just want to understand it better, this episode provides valuable insights and coping strategies.
