In this episode, we will discuss common dementia-related behaviors and symptoms caregivers often wonder about, and how to tell when something may be part of the condition versus when it could signal another issue. We’ll go through six real caregiver questions, covering topics like incontinence, changes in mood, waking up disoriented, shifts in taste preferences, loss of appetite, and repeating the same story.
Questions answered:
- Incontinence — is it normal?
- Why are they so mean, is this normal?
- Is it normal for someone with dementia to wake up disoriented?
- Is it normal for their taste preferences to change?
- Is repeating the same story over and over in the same conversation a normal symptom of dementia?
- Mom says she's not hungry and she hasn't eaten in four days, is this normal with dementia?
