Thank you for sharing your experiences. My husband has been diagnosed vascular dementia. We're both scared but we appreciate what you've done to shed light on this terrible desease
He has my respect.
This is a real act of bravery to share your journey. My 79-year-old husband has been diagnosed with Major Autoneurological Dementia, Stage 4. (mid way through the stage of 7 stages.) He also has major neurological issues (hammertoes, neuropathy, osteoarthritis in his knee) so mobility and walking are difficult so going places or doing the things we like to do and have the money to do (walking, hiking, birdwatching, biking etc.) are nearly impossible now. He lies in his bed all day long and plays on his cell phone or his Laptop....that is all he wants to do anyway as moving hurts and he is exhausted by everything.
An amazing individual, what a lovely family
Nice guy, nice family.
Thanks you for sharing Chris and family....wishing you the best
Thank you for making a difference in this world.
tops lads for doing this, to inviting the world into your own private battles. Making the world a better place
Brother said so sad my brother in-law just came home from the hospital and they had to have hospice care, it’s so heart breaking to ask him if he needs a drink of water and he says I don’t know . He can no longer be help to shower or use the bathroom at all. It’s hard enough to see the best brother in law ever to go through that for the last 13 years and it’s even harder to see what it also is doing to his love of his life my sister. From my knowledge of hospice once they step in. I think the end is near. I would give anything to change the outcome but can’t. I’m so heart broken
Beautiful video, thank you for sharing.
Was he watching a BBC news report at 1:07?
Yes it was about what would happen to the UK if the UK leaves the EU.
No hes just watching the new series of Top gear...
The GTA geek
His wife needs to get Amazon Prime I'm sure he wont shout at the TV as much.
Grabbing all the danglies I can find Chris x amazing man ! Amazing family x
What are danglies?
My mother suffered from dementia. I noticed that she had problems after eating carbs and put her on a ketogenic diet, which I also follow. She hasn't had any more episodes since then. Alzheimer's has been called the third diabetes.
It's heartbreaking, but simultaneously, a beautiful gesture. I lost my mom to dementia in March, and I can't imagine watching her go thru this vapid disease at such a young age. It's a familial disease. Ppl like this are what's giving a voice to the struggle. Thank you. ❤
why are you awake bbc news
The Eternal Jew never sleeps
+UltimateSheepz is that a bible quote?
Corinthians 2:12
+FudgeMyLife without looking in my bible I know that quote isn't in there.
+FrsH -87 someone google it
I had my Dad come to live with me when we realized her couldn’t live alone. I was in a completely different state and he loved being there. He had been having mini strokes and the father of ten , all of us well grown and awesome. . He was 79 when he went home to be with Lord. My youngest sister came down to live with me and she would ask my Dad what are we going to do as he forgets us and confuses things. He would laugh 😂 and told her “ sounds like you have a problem”. We laughed about everything! I miss him so much.
God bless you every day
Sound some positive vibes over ❤️
my grandpa had dementia before he died :( . he was admitted to the hospital for his last weeks / month alive but when he was home after a heart attack he literally asked me who i was i didn't understand cuz i was like 8 years old. It's a very scary disease
my respect
you have been drinking alcohol all your life and you are wondering why you have dementia????
Watched on August 1, 2022
Does anyone know how I can watch this (Living with Dementia. Chris's story)? Thanks
1:07 when you hit stage 4 - everywhere at the end of time-
Confusions and HORROR
Hopefully in the next 50 years with the massive development of technology that will occur, none of the people being born today will have to worry about this
They'd better! We're facing an aging population and fewer babies.
He looks at least ten years older.

Chris' or Chris's?
Both are correct when talking about apostrophes after words ending with an "s" and possession. I personally would use simply an apostrophe without the "s"; however, the other would also be correct. Only important point worth noting is consistency, so whichever you do choose you should not keep switching between the two.
He does not look 55 at all :( Good luck to him
Yes, he looks 65.
C S Yes but he does look 65 though.
I think that you need to know how apostrophes work...
Yeaaah, he looks way better off than my grandma. My brother and I decided that if we ever got diagnosed and there isn't a cure or effective treatment we'll take cognitive tests every day and overdose on heroine the day we fall below a certain mark. It may be grim, but dementia is a horrible disease. One day he'll forget how to use the toilet, at some point he'll forget how to feed himself. He'll end up a gibbering shell of who he was and no matter how much his family loves him, he'll be a burden. I'll take some quality months or years and skip out before it gets too bad.
+rockysikander my grandma was trying to dial a phone number and just couldn't understand it, and she looked at my mom and said "I have a masters degree in English and now I can't use a phone." she would occasionally talk about walking into traffic. now she has nonsense conversations with people who aren't there, wets herself, and thinks my mother is trying to hurt her. It's one of the most awful things that can happen to a person in my opinion. A complete disconnection from reality and a total loss of dignity. not to mention the pain your family suffers, and it's extremely costly to care for someone with severe dementia.
Yes but he wont know what's going on after a certain point. He wont remember his wife, children or even his name.
+tomlinid they have lucid moments at least occasionally, and experience distress and disorientation often. honestly not understanding why they're in pain might even be worse.
Potato girl - CBD oil is very helpful. I have younger onset ALZ and your comments reflect the massive ignorance about what ALZ does to a person. then again, maybe YOU would be a burden. You are going to die of something too, you realize that? And grandma - if she is suffering - might be doing a lot better without your kind of negative projections on her.
Rocky - not unless the people around you are clueless. there are basics for living out a good life with dementia. I have it and am doing better today than 5 years ago. Like the man in video says, no fear.
I want to watch this, but I'm in America. How can I see this?
I am in America and I just watched it just fine
+James Peter what device were u using? I don't have tv all I have is iPad and iPhone. Can u help me?
+Teppi Scheffner I have an IPhone 6plus. Did you mean BBC America TV?
+James Peter yes, this video on TH-cam isn't what I'm talking about. This video to which the comments are attached is a video I was able to see. I want to see the full program that is to air on bbc one today (June 2).
I don't think you can watch BBC programs on the BBC web site if you aren't in the UK but you can listen to radio programs. It's annoying as I am in the states as well I would have thought they would give you access to individual programs by charging you a fee to view them but I suppose that is too logical.
Does Chris have rights? Or you guys just trying to humiliate him with intrusion CCTV?
Pointless video. After watching it, I still don't know what dementia is or how exactly it affects a person. We see him yelling at one point and refusing a meal but those are normal behaviors for any person. If the goal of the video was to raise awareness it failed.
I DONT KNOW. That's my whole point. I STILL don't know after watching this video. It is very ineffective at describing the condition to the average viewer.
That is a big assumption, isn't it? Dementia is not nearly as common as cancer, and obviously doesnt get the same media coverage. Isn't that why they made this video in the first place? If most people knew what dementia was, there still wouln't be a point to the video, now would there?
It is not doing a good job of highlighting the effects.
It's a trailer mate.
If you know an adult who is refusing to eat their meal or randomly yelling, please get them help.
This was a short advert for a programme which goes into more depth & gives lots of examples what it is like living with dementia .
I have just read the description & it is currently available on the bbc iplayer. You can of course always google for more information too.
