My mom seems to have many symptoms from all of them. For years my step dad complained my mom was getting forgetful. Then after he passed she had a complete personality change. She did what she wanted to do and when she wanted it. It was like she was finally released from being bossed around my my step dad and no one could tell her anything. She stopped caring how others thought of her, said very rude things to people, that cost her friendships. And she was scammed nearly broke because she refused to listen to everyone telling her a young man she befriended was scamming her. I finally had to threaten to call the cops on him to leave her alone. Then she went into a depression and nearly starved herself to death, after her hip replacement and her damn dr sent her home with no one there and no pain meds. same dr who let her suffer with a fractured hip for 4 months before i got her to see a new dr. Same Dr who left her with untreated skin cancer for a year. She then spent the worst of covid in a seniors home. I live the other side of the country and i nearly died from covid so it was a longer recovery and i could not get out to see her right away. Family member disposed of all her belongings without permission. Then she had a serious fall in may and shattered her other hip and lost the last year of her memory and many other things. And was having hallucinations. I knew right away something was very wrong. My mom was losing her memory for some things but with being prompted she would remember. They then declared her incompetent, with out even finding out what the sudden decline was from. Again her old Dr who had not even seen her in over a year and was told never to go near her again. And family who tired to take control of her and tried to block me from going to see my mom. I spent 4 months calling everyone i could think of to help mom and find a way there. Then she got angry with the family members because she wanted to see me and they did things to prevent it for no damn good reason. Instead of caring about her medical needs, they were more concerned with again selling and disposing of her belongings. Because she was upset and told them off, something she did not even remember doing the next day, they cut off her phone and abandoned her in the hospital. She had no one to do anything for her and no way to reach out anymore. I finally got there and spent a week getting things ready to bring her home. She was left with a bedroom set and a small suitcase of clothes. They sold and donated everything. She knew me then and the first week i had her home, then just over a week went by and i walked into her room in the morning and she asked who i was. Now mostly my daughter and i are just staff. And she had become increasingly grumpy and has assaulted us a few times. On top of everything i am now grieving the loss of my mom and my best friend. I am so angry with her dr and the family for not caring enough to check into what was going on, if she had proper care would she be this bad and go down hill so fast. Now getting her to do anything is near impossible as she just thinks we are bossy and telling her what she can and cant do. This person now in my home is no longer my mom and im struggling with that. And i will never forgive my family. They act like im ungrateful they stepped up and took over disposing of all my families things. 4 generations of mementos and antiques. Some very valuable and with great meaning, were given away or donated or allowed to be stolen by my moms neighbors.. The rest was sold for peanuts including her home just because the wanted to be done with it. Good christian people they are, to help my mom be left with nothing. And im ungrateful.
That's quite a harrowing story. Sorry to learn of your bad times. Thanks for telling this story - it helps in our understanding of the implications of dementia. In which country did this happen? Is there no community medicine? (usually this is government sponsored) or community network for this kind of situation?
I use kratom for pain, and found I had more clarity,fell less, better mood,less anxious,etc. I think it could be helpful, and a better alternative to l dopa. There's a misconception that it gets you high, but it doesn't. I researched it and nurses had told me about it as well. I think it should be looked into.
Alzheimer's dementia Parkinson's dementia, motor symptoms before cognitive Lewy body dementia, visual hallucinations, cognition then motor Vascular dementia Frontotemporal dementia
@@Tomogeny All forms of dementia discussed in the video were basically brain cell death (cell atrophication) in large enough number to cause symptoms. Many were caused by an energy or oxygen crisis. Vascular dementia was acute caused by a sudden loss of oxygen and energy. Others were slower to progress. In slower progressing forms of dementia brain tissue was less active perhaps due to lack of energy or oxygen. Most of the brain can run on two fuel sources. One is glucose. The other is ketones (made in the body when we break down fat). Glucose requires insulin to enter a cell. To get glucose into brain cells both glucose and insulin must cross the blood brain barrier with active transport (they are large molecules). If the tissue of the brain becomes insulin resistant more insulin will be required for the brain cells to absorb glucose. There is an upper limit to how much insulin and glucose can be transported through the blood brain barrier. If the brain cell does not get enough glucose it will reduce activity to a point until it doesn’t have enough energy to survive. Ketones get past the blood brain barrier through a different method (monocarboxylate transporters) and could be an alternative energy source for a starving brain. If ketones are abundant the small portion of the brain that relies on glucose can use the limited supply (the hippocampus key for memory is glucose/insulin dominant and the atrophied area in Alzheimer’s) and the remaining neural tissue isn’t competing for the limited\inadequate glucose/insulin supply. If someone is on a clinical keotgenic diet the liver will convert fat to ketones in levels many times higher than if someone is on a higher carb diet. This is just scratching the surface on the benefits of ketones on the brain. Here is a link for more information that is far more eloquent than I th-cam.com/video/yooNuOKsa1Q/w-d-xo.html
@@TechPeasant404 Fair point, I see where you are going with this. Of course this will not be able to work for Lewy Body dementia, Alzheimer's disease or frontotemporal dementia as this will not affect the misfolded tau or beta amyloid because the entire protein degradation system is messed up. For vascular dementia caused by large vessel disease, ketones will not have an effect either as the strokes can fully infarct tissue and neither glucose nor ketones or oxygen will be able to arrive as the vasculature is obstrected. However, for small vessel disease (chronic decreased perfusion) maybe there is something in this, but if the damaged tissues cause mitochondrial damage through reactive oxygen species, the cells will still undergo apoptosis. Microinfarction will still cause ischaemia due to the vessels being obstructed and atheromas will block blood flow regardless. There is indeed some evidence for lack of energy in certain cases as the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum (large neurons that need a lot of energy) can become acidotic, meaning their glucose supply runs out and the cells are producing lactic acid. Microaneurysms will only cause blood loss and clotting around vessels, further reducing perfusion and rendering the BBB invalid focally. The question is whether a ketone diet will be effective if perfusion is reduced, as the BBB is still intact (depending on vessel damage), so the upper limit for glucose transport over the BBB is probably not reached and higher ketone concentrations will not allow for extra energy usage. The astrocytes surrounding the BBB also transport glucose to oligodendrocytes and neuron and function as a storage for glycogen, so even in periods of low glucose, the astrocytes may provide some extra fuel. Still chronically reduced perfusion will mess up oxygen transport, eventually leading to cell death. I think a healthy diet that is good for the heart, so nuts, fish, omega-3 fatty acids etc. will probs be better for getting all needed nutrients and preventing atherosclerosis than a ketogenic diet would. The ketogenic is high in fat, so probably would not be great for blood LDL levels and subsequently vessel disease, which plays a huge role in both small and large vessel disease causing vascular dementia, so I'm not sure if this would be the way to go.
@@Tomogeny I don’t have all the answers I just see the keotgenic diet may be helpful for some cases of dementia. I think it merits further study. Beta amyloid is produced even in a healthy brain. The enzyme that breaks it down is the same enzyme that breaks down insulin IDE (Insulin-degrading enzyme). The enzyme has a higher affinity for insulin so with high levels of insulin due to insulin resistance the amyloid plaques build up. The active transport for glucose may not be reached however for insulin it may. Intranasal insulin has been shown to temporarily improve cognitive function with Alzheimer’s patients however it would make the tissue more insulin resistant in the long term. I think the high fat clogging a drain/ vascular system is too simplistic of a model. I think atherosclerosis primary cause is oxidative PUFA oil (they also contain trace amounts of trans fats) and sugar acting as an oxidative accelerant causing further vascular inflammation. Atherosclerosis increased with the introduction of seed oils. People have been cutting back saturated fat and eating/frying in PUFA oil all while rates have increased .
Coffee and dark chocolate helps with mild anxiety. I have ADHD, but it wasn't bad until I was on antidepressants. They actually caused my depression. Drs told me 15 years later . I had a small stroke. Now idk if the side effects are causing neurological problems,or the side effects of the antidepressants
I think my husband 😢has a combination of all types.. Socially awkward, diabetic parkinsonism that is how it all started 7yrs ago...aggressive very forgetful...recent or immediate memory
CAC Tagaradi Churna Tagar (Valeriana wallichii) is the main ingredient used for the preparation of this churna. This churna is very beneficial in neurological, psychological, and digestive disorders. In low dosage, it calms the mind, strengthens the nerves, and prevents convulsions. It improves the strength of the heart muscles and helps in reducing the blood pressure. It is the best vata and kapha pacifier churna. Tagaradi churna improves the quality of sleep and induces the sound sleep. It elevates the mood and helps the patients in reducing stress and mood disorders.
You know It got me thinking, having studied psychology at Alison Institute in Ireland and having attained my Diploma in Psychology their, I can say that Psychologically our character is generally a build up and composition of developmental psychology that our environments and people around us have shaped us into, this developmental psychology continues throughout our entire lives to continually, (together with personal choices) mold us into our older and more matured selves. With dementia, have your whole life in some cases scrubbed from your memory would make us no more than an infant toddler again. For those that have experienced a painful life it could be a blessing to them, for those that have had a happy and fruitful life it would obviously be a disaster................many of us try so hard to educate and grow ourselves into becoming more knowledgeable and wise human beings only in some cases to have it stripped away, but not just that we also have the deep love we feel from long established relationships stripped away from us where we no longer feel love towards the one's we cared about as we have no memories to support that love. Dementia is an evil and cruel disease. I hope one day humanity see's a day where this affliction upon our specie is nothing but what it stood for a lost memory in life's existence.
CAC Brodley syrup maintains the overall activity of the brain. As the herbs used for the preparation of this syrup are Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis), Dhania (Coriandrum sativum), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Saunf (Foeniculum vulgare), etc. These all acts as a mind relaxant. The use of this syrup provides good results to the dementia patient. This syrup has the best memory boosting power and helps in increasing the blood flow to the brain. It is used as an antioxidant that increases retention power
Dementia is the name given for a group of symptoms causing cognitive decline - it isn't actually a disease. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of Dementia, so yes they are essentially the same thing although more accurately it would be Dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. People commonly just refer to the condition as Alzheimer's disease, though.
There's controversy, but Ritalin helps me with my focus and anxiety. There's a study I found recently that said it helps some types of dementia. I'm not suggesting anyone try this or anything I mentioned. It works for me.
CAC Rasayan vati is herbo-mineral Ayurvedic formulation which contains various herbs such as Aswagandha, Shilajeet, Amla, Musali, Shatavar, Brahmi, Abhrak Bhasam, Mukta pisti, Praval pisti, , Kaunch Beej, Saunth, Mirch, Brahmi, etc. These ingredients show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, immune-modulator properties. These tablets provides good results in General debility, Psychological disorders, and improves immunity.
My friend's grand father had dementia from the last 4 years. He took medicines from everywhere but no relief was found. Then he took Ayurvedic medicine from Chandigarh Ayurved Centre and those medicines shows wonderful results. Now he is feeling good. Thanks
What about willful dementia? You simply refuse the facts on a fundamental level it causes neurons to not die but get dangerously confused. I.e. Psychopath to serial charity worker. Arrogance is a wierd semi-chemical, kinda like protons (energy: matter).
me, not a medical student, studying dementia on a whim: hmmm interesting
Whim? Probably your need, eh?
Cool
Eheh Rohan
Yup!
🎉 same lol
Studying dementia and prevention, just want to say thank you for this wonderful overview.
I’m a psych major and have been really digging into dementia since I’ve learned a bit about it. It’s incredibly interesting to me.

thanks for making this video
Great video man! Loved it
k of course, i get this recommended after everywhere at the end of time and everywhere in the beginning of nowhere.
Thank you for this info, if i may, you need to make the effort to articulate.
To whom was your comment addressed?
That was so great, thank you! I have an exam in two days :)
Then you might need to know a bit more than what's in this video.

Have you had stimulants
Coffee is not that healthy except not to be able to sleep in night shift.
And pharmacy students!!!
I don't see the link
I have same treatment and symptoms which mentioned in this video for frontotemporal dementia. So I have this type dementia.. 😭
Do you know it’s dementia and not some other condition?
Much love

It would make sense since the symptoms seem similar to those of adhd.
All thanks to Dr Aba for curing my dad from this deadly Dementia disease am forever grateful sir
You can’t cure dementia!
