I am a CNA and have worked in memory care for pretty much the entire time (7 years). She does an amazing job at explaining dementia and I think all nursing homes and memory care facilities should use her as a teaching tool for our continued education.
I'm doing my Master in Neuroscience and I'm working in a Lab that works on Neuroimaging of Aging. This woman is absolutely awesome, the way she talks about Dementia make you understand that she's a professional, prepared on the subject. Listening to her talking make you understand that she knows what she's talking about because she lived directly in contact with these people. And I feel like to say that I really would like to work with her because she's the kind of person who really care about elderly people and because like her I would like to help them in every possible way, that's what I want to do after my studies.
Ludovico Piccolo She's really inspiring! I would like to work with the elderly as a speech pathologist. It's so true what she says about families and patients needing to know the specific diagnosis.
*So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s.

I was given the “Tests” failed. Then 2 MRI tests, second MRI showed hydrocephalus I had been dealing with for over thirty years. Had brain surgery it totally changed the direction of my life. I am well now no more dementia symptoms and I give God all the Glory
iamslaphappy Yes thank you to my doctor, I was so loopy. Looking back I can see how bad I was, now I work out 🏋️♀️ with a trainer each week and I’m so much stronger. Finally starting to ride again 🐎
Thats not nice, god wasnt in the operating room or held any of the surgical instruments. Those doctors that helped you wouldve spent a lot of money just to be able to do what they did. So you put it down to someone that wasnt even there. So sad.
Vera Bentley. God was in the operating room for the whole procedure He is the one ☝️ I give the glory too. I was blessed that he lead me to my surgeon and gave us the answers we needed. I hope one day you come to know his saving Grace.
Watching this after 10 years of when it was uploaded. I wish I had seen it earlier, I am sure I would have been able to help my mom better. I miss her. Thank you so much, for explaining it so well.
ive worked in geriatrics for 30 years. Thought I knew it all when it came to alzheimers. I knew NOTHING!!! Thank you for posting these videos! They are great!
WOW! Your lecture was totally amazing. You are spot on about Dr.s missing the diagnosis. I’m having memory issues and am having difficulty getting someone to take me seriously. They tell me “well, you are turning 65 so it’s normal to have memory issues
I thought my husband was having early signs of dementia because he was in a second car accident in 3 years and this time did not see a car hauler coming from the left on a sunny day. He is a stroke survivor and has Parkinsons so it was natural for me to have that concern. DOT suspended his license until he could pass a medical exam. His PCP passed him and his optometrist flunked him after 2 tries. He has absolutely no peripheral vision to the left. He had recovered it after several years after his stroke and was able to drive again 11 years and now it's gone. In addition to be very hard of hearing, thank you Vietnam, the vision loss and the delayed processing of Parkinsons if you pressure him gives the impression of dementia. The vision loss explains so many things, he does not know I am there. Seeing a new neurologist next week. Will have lots to talk about. I could write a book.
I’ve seen you in person. You are so knowledgeable and especially helpful to caregivers-those who care for loved ones and those whose work it is to take care of people. Your presentation on how to care for a person with dementia is so insightful and heartfelt it made me weep. But that doesn’t make it any better when the person is your own mother just easier. Thank you.
You have blown me away with the delivery and ease at which your discuss this information, I am a nurse and teacher working in Further Education in Ireland, and will be referring my learners to this recording to help them understand this condition/s, just Brilliant!!!! I can not stress how Brilliant the delivery of this information is!! Concise, engaging, what an amazing Teacher!!!

I am a nurse in a long term care facility and I can say Teepa is spot on! The sad thing is that even the individuals that manage / run these facilities lack this knowledge.
Thank you I find you so inspiring. You're my break time from my mum sometimes, who I've been living with and caring for 6 years. You're honesty and enthusiasm and knowledge gives me strength. Thank you
My husband has Alzheimer's disease, and whenever l speak to him over the phone, l end up in tears after l've hung up. It's stressful for me when my daughter takes me to visit him. It's depressing but l feel it's my obligation to keep contact with him as long as possible. He is deteriorating more each visit However. he knows who l am, and l am thankful for this. We love each other, but it's like observing a slow death. Sometimes , l wish my life was over, and l actually am looking forward to it.
Donna677 hats off to her. my dad is a double whammy he has stage four colon cancer and also early stages of dementia. my brother is the caregiver. i can't be the caregiver because i have health issues of my own. i am a hydrocephalus patient and a spasticity patient which is a form of cerebral palsy.
Very helpful video. My mother (72) has just been diagnosed with dementia by her primary care physician and will be seeing a specialist soon for further evaluation. I am confident this doctor will confirm the dementia diagnosis so it's a question now of determining what form of dementia she has, how advanced it is, and finding out what - if anything - can be done treatment-wise. For the last several years, my mother has also been battling depression and alcohol abuse/addiction. It's strange that all three of these issues - depression, dementia, and dependency - seem to hit her around the same time, which would be around age 65 or so. Before that, my mother had been a feisty, active, very "with it" woman who, although she used alcohol, was very rarely intoxicated (maybe once a year, if that). Recently, however, she's been falling, injuring herself, despondent, admitted to a psychiatric ward, extremely forgetful, very easily confused and/or scared, angry, resentful, etc., etc. I'm expecting a long, difficult road ahead and all information, such as that presented in this video, is appreciated.
How is your mother doing now 2 yrs. later? I have known several "working" alcoholics over the years and it is amazing how they didn't appear "drunk". I went on a business trip with one for three days and realized just how much he drank all day long, yet he appeared just fine.

I am an RN and I love this woman. Currently I work in Med-Surg nursing and what we are currently seeing is the baby boomers with dementia. Teepa's knowledge is exceptional and helpful to my career.
Teepa Snow is awesome. I had to laugh when she went through the litany of screening questions. Those screening questions have always been the same no matter where I was being screened. Spell the word 'world', now spell it backwards. Subtract from 100 by sevens. etc., etc., etc.
You are so awesome...I'm 74 and a caregiver of my mom 92 who was diagnosed with Dementia.. Love watching your videos..So very helpful..Breathing techniques omg..My bp is high Dr put me on more meds..Cholesterol is high so now meds for that...And now my hubby is having health issues.. I need 3 of me.. Thank you so much for you and your videos...Stay safe
AMEN! I don't think our governments (outside U.S.) give a crap about people with dementia. I live in Greece and we live in the dark ages regarding dementia, it's disgusting.
We have developed comprehensive training programs (outside of US) That have a focus on dementia (in its many states and forms ). UFIRST , PIECES concepts ? Developed in Canada (where I am) the problem has nothing to do with availability of program it has EVERYTHING to do with the "Prime Minister " and government not implementing regulation of PSW'S . If it was regulated you can bet this would be part of the curriculum . Besides those factors we do learn GPA as part of my school's curriculum . The confusion lies in HCA's who go through 2-4 weeks of training then show up in LTC'F's and have no anatomical, physiological or pathological understanding of the root causes of disease . Not to mention how to work with people who have dementia not dementia patients . -drops the mic
Eleni Andreou it's the same in the UK, i've just been diagnosed with dementia and I do live in sheltered housing. I have watched the way the carers take care of their clients, oh my God I will commit suicide before I will let any carers near me. I'm a young 62 and I've alway taken pride in myself and the way I look. I've had compliments all my life I still get them now lol. This is a cruel horrible disease it's not fair for my kids it's them that I'm bothered about.
This lady is amazing she has opened my eyes , now I'm understanding the jewels of dementia/Alzheimer's .now I'm feeling more positive in dealing with my father and also as a career for the elderly .
I have pretty bad Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family. Both of my dads parents had it worse and they managed to take care of each other but they declined very quickly. They passed together just four days apart and I know they did not remember much of anything but each other. All I know is that they were happy. I really want to go into dementia related research to help more people especially since this issue is so prevalent.
omg when she was describing the vascular dementia (emotional control) the light bulbs and "you win" dinging just went off for me! THANK YOU!! Holy shit.
Thank you so much, these videos are so helpful. My mother refuses to have scans done so I don't know what sort of dementia she has, your descriptions of the different kinds of symptoms is brilliant, honestly, thank you! It is a cruel disease.
Hi my sister, has dementia I just want to know, what type of dementia is this that she, accuse her daughter in-law saying that she wants to kill, her then she will say her daughter in-law is outside with people talking about her, if u talking to someone, she will say you talking about her, then she will swear such bad ugly words, is there anyone that has the same problem I just want to know, ❤
This was very informative.I'm training myself because I work for a company that doesn't train their employees properly.I do activities with memory care clients and I have experienced all of the issues Teepa discusses I've learned a few new facts from this, so I hope it will help me
Hi. I am very impressed with what I am learning about dementia, Alzheimer’s and declining mental cognition. After what I’ve watched in these videos , I’m doing well for a person of 68 years of age. I am always stimulating my mind or brain with watching videos and learning about different new things so d with severe dementia and is currently conversing with no one present. Inmo
What a difference this made to me.... My family friend now trusts me and accepts my help more than anyone or carer's... Just the change in wording has worked like magic. Can't thank you enough! ❤
I'm currently doing a work placement in a dementia ward and it was great to watch this and learn more - appreciated. Loved the comment below about the complaint in lecturers use of swearing....care for someone with dementia and you'll pick up some more four letter words or worse!
I was disappointed that the word she used the most is a word that I used the most b/4 I became a Christian. I have a very large family and not one of us use that word. I don't believe that we'd "pick up" that word if we had to care for a loved one with dementia. I found her very likable, but it does make me wonder why it needed to be used so often. Shock value, maybe?
This video is very informative. I work at a care facility in Calgary as an RTA specializing in music and with this video I can say I understand dementia a little bit more. Thank you!! Peace and love!!
I am learning so ver much from you, Teepa. Although I have earned a PhD from university of Southern California, I am now retired a n am facing these problems..head-on..with my partner of 48+ yrs. I shall continue to learn behavior techniques as long as you so kindly keep forkin’ ‘em over. I am 88.
I went to your conference.. I learned more in those 8 hrs than my 20 plus yrs experience in the field!! U ARE AMAZING TEEPA!! GOD BLESS YOU AN WHAT U TEACH US!!! I would go to every conference if i could. Thank you!!!💚💜
Great info. My mother has dementia and every one of those bullet points was spot on. It makes me so sad for her. I miss my mother. I feel when someone suffers from dementia/ alzheimers you grieve them twice, while they still live, and then again when they die.
Wow thank you. You have taught me a lot. I'm being tested at 54 by a neuropsychologist to find out what's wrong with me. So far got through the first virtual session. Now I got to go on for the screaming. They are not sure why I have cognitive issues. I do have white matter on the brain but they don't know why. So they want to rule out brain damage or trauma. Or early onset dementia. I'm terrified. I thank you for this video.
11:19 - I ended up with a "TwoFor". My Mom was taking care of my war veteran Dad when she developed Dementia. And . . . I was left as the full-time carer at 41. And . . . The government let my Family, and me, down completely!
You might like to check out the Care Blazers website I found it very helpful ( if your not aware of it already ) it’s brilliant. Good luck looking after your mum it’s tough I have been doing this work for 10 years only now a, I understanding how to care effectively.
I am also a caregiver for my mom we noticed after she had a fall and was baker acted from the fall she as about 65-66 years old she suffered a lot of depression all her life and as far as I can remember she was not a diabetic and was very active all the time plenty of sunlight daily so it’s very confusing and heartbreaking at the same time everyday is different
You are absolutely amazing! I love your talks! I have a lot of medication and health issues and I am quite worried about my brain just because I’ve been knocked out a few times in various ways and I’ve been having trouble with balance, memory etc 🤣😳 but you really are wonderful at teaching this in a way that people can relate to and ideas that we can hold on to. (And I’m not great at that!) Especially the umbrella term! It’s like IBS in a weird way. Humour is so important to help curb some of that fear. ! Anyway, thank you! We all might need this one day. It’s so hard to tell what’s going on if you have other things happening at the same time. Thank you 😊 ❤️
Everybody should listen and learn. Also experiencing and spending some time with them makes it more clearer understanding what’s going on in a person with dementia and other kind of dementia they got.
Thanks you so much for making this video. Many seniors are held prisoners in guardianship proceedings and stuck in Memory care facilities against their will when nobody has taken the time to properly intervene
My MIL has stage 6-7 dementia in memory care. She hates it there.. but her 96 year old husband can't take care of her. I can't take care of her as I'm disabled. I feel guilty.. my husband feels guilty..,
Thank you for doing this video. My response is way too long. After my mother had a stroke life became really tough, I was her main caregiver. She could be quite mean to me and I didn't understand why. Now, I know that she also had dementia way before I realized it. One day she got angry that I wasn't ready to go to the store, I didn't even know we were going to the store. I was doing some of her yard work. When I told her I'd get changed, she got angry and left without me. We always went to the store together even if she drove. But when she returned she was upset, maybe scared. I believe now that she didn't know where she was or something like that because she didn't normally go to this particular store. I believe she couldn't figure out where she was for a little bit. But as it continued she would say really cruel things and adding to the stress was that I had my own illness and had been given 18 months. Fortunately I overcame. I didn't want to upset her by telling her. Now I wish I had told her to see if she understood. Because she wouldn't let me go outside after 8 p.m. and I am a gardener, I decided to get a dog. I knew she had an MRI so I took my dog home got showered came back and she had one of those meltdowns because she thought I went to have surgery on myself. I was baffled. She was so upset with me and I had been in such a good mood.she demanded the code to her appointment right then even though we would be an hour and a half early. She wouldn't use a wheelchair so that also made it tough because she couldn't walk well. But even before that she said one of the oddest things to me. I was molested by my uncle (mom's sister's husband). It ruined my life but we never talked about it until a week before her 80th birthday when she suddenly said that she didn't know that it was illegal for my uncle to touch me! Maybe after all the years that she heard me say, if anyone ever touched my child they'd be praying for the police to rescue them from me" or Perhaps the dementia had started then but it shocked me so much that I told her I didn't want to talk about it. I felt that if she had that attitude then she wouldn't understand mine.
Pernell13489 , It sounds like you had an awful time with your mum. Relationships with parents can be hard enough, without them having dementia ! I know I had some very frustrating times with my father. What your mum said about your uncle molesting you, sounds like a very weird thing to say. Maybe she was trying to absolve herself of any responsibility in some way, but not realising it. It must have made you feel real mad. Once with my dad, I got so mad with him and I had a meltdown right there and then. But he just zoned out which made it worse. I hope things get better for you. Good luck 👍
She's absolutely right my wife was very blessed with her Dr we spent 1 hour in the office. When I tell that to people don't believe me. Every time we go to a appointment we spent minimum of 30 minutes with the Dr . My wife have LWBD very stressful , everything Teepa mentioned 100% right about LWBD.
*So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia.

My mother was always firing me. She would say, "The girl who pays the bills, please thank her and tell her we won't be needing her anymore." Or she would tell me to fire the girl who took care of her at night. She would never give me the reason. "I don't want to hurt her feelings," she would say. I took care of her for seven years. I didn't go out much and always assumed that after she passed I would resume a more active life. But it didn't happen. I wasn't the same anymore. When I went out I would feel overwhelmed, desolate and out of place. If someone upset me I would go into a screaming rage. So I stay home with my cats, where I cook and clean, watch youtube videos and Netflix. I tend the garden, giving special care to her lemon tree , and treasure the good years we had.
Patricia Reilly , It’s sad to hear your story. All I know is that caregivers are very vulnerable people who suffer from all kinds of health conditions as a result of the relentless work they do. And after their loved one passes away, they are left with the residual stress of extreme exhaustion as well as psychological issues such as PTSD. Please don’t shut yourself away all of the time. Find a support group for carers in your area, or for people caring/grieving for relatives with Dementia. I’m sure they will help you, even tho your mum has passed away. They understand and they won’t make you feel out of place. I can help you find an organisation to contact, if you’re not feeling motivated. I’m Leonie Cent and I’m on face book.
Yes, same! I was surprised by my inability to bounce back after years of caring for my mom with the last year doing double duty giving her 24/7 care in my house and working full time as a teacher online during Covid19. Six months ago, I finally got medicaid to take her case and got her placed in a dementia -focused adult family home. There was a period of grieving and guilt which I guess I’m still not past yet. I’m also stressing about how I can set myself up so as not to place caregiving on my daughter, should I also get dementia. It surprises me that I truly have no desire to be around others any more than I have too. Anyway, right there with you and hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for sharing this. My dad is finally going to a nursing home 5 years of hell. I haven’t had this much time off since I can remember and I just don’t feel like myself anymore. I don’t like being around other people much now and older people are frankly irritating. I thought it was just me but I wonder if this is a trauma response. Take care of yourself you deserve it ❤
@@ucanleaveyourhaton Thank you Leonie for your very kind reply. I somehow missed it when you posted it two years ago. I am doing much better than I was when I originally posted. Fortunately, I have a lot of family who are supportive.
I can tell you for sure as a breast cancer surviver who is on Letrozole, my memory is toast. I have been on it for 2 years and they want me on it for 8 more. The doctors try to say its not the med, but I am in a group for women on these hormone blockers and we are all having the issue.
My mom died of dementia and I’m now 68 and paying close attention…she started developing symptoms around the age of 72…two weeks before her 81st birthday, she passed.
beautifully presented, the way she talks if studying science has taught me 2 things it is to do my research and intuitively feel an expert. she is one i d bet money on that and the way she talks to the old people. she is close to them, not taking them from a distance with cold respect but using just the right amount of infantilisation, which i ve found is an incredibly powerful teaching tool. she doesn't treat them like kids- that would be just disrespectul- she goes to their level, makes sure to repeat or be very clear about the message to make sure its gotten accross all the while poking them making a bit fun of them etc, all valuable tools when used in right proportions to create a real link with the audience. i m a physicist i love hearing an expert lecture theoretical stuff etc but hate it when you feel he s talking down to you or talking like you're a child. but i came to realise that that expert NEEDS to talk to non physicists as though they were children if he's explaining a physics things, cause in that situation they are. but if he just does that it comes down as condensending, she avoids that trap
I have my father-in-law . My husband and I are at our end with not being able to get help. We are trying to get him diagnosed. This is a hard thing to do . He has a regular PCP and a newly neurologist. This week he got violent wants the keys to his car he hasn’t drove in months but wanted his keys . I went to the doctors to get something to calm him down . No help at all . It is very hard to be a caregiver when no one wants to listen to you
Faye, Hi, God called for my Mom who had Dementia this April 2019, I cared for her for 17 years. Losing parent is hard. I pray we will see them again in Heaven. God bless you.
My mother is 61 years old and I've been trying to figure out why she's rapidly started to decline over the last year especially .... She can barely walk and her hand tremors... Yesterday she couldn't open a pack of sandwich meat. She's started isolating more and more. I watched this video because I had a suspicion. My grandma had dementia but it wasn't related to Alzheimer's. I have a lot of difficult decisions to make.
Thank you for sharing the different stages of dementia , I work in an assisted living and the residents that has the decease some times , it's kind of hard to analyze the behavior because, they don't let us now I'm very sympathetic I'm a house keeper and I want to engage with them have a wonderful new year...
I am a CNA and have worked in memory care for pretty much the entire time (7 years). She does an amazing job at explaining dementia and I think all nursing homes and memory care facilities should use her as a teaching tool for our continued education.
In your opinion you think the president of USA shows signs of dementia?
I'm doing my Master in Neuroscience and I'm working in a Lab that works on Neuroimaging of Aging.
This woman is absolutely awesome, the way she talks about Dementia make you understand that she's a professional, prepared on the subject. Listening to her talking make you understand that she knows what she's talking about because she lived directly in contact with these people. And I feel like to say that I really would like to work with her because she's the kind of person who really care about elderly people and because like her I would like to help them in every possible way, that's what I want to do after my studies.
Ludovico Piccolo She's really inspiring! I would like to work with the elderly as a speech pathologist. It's so true what she says about families and patients needing to know the specific diagnosis.
Could you study the effect of more oxygen and more water on the progression of Dimensia?

Do you have any suggestion reading neuroscience dealing with dementia.
I was given the “Tests” failed. Then 2 MRI tests, second MRI showed hydrocephalus I had been dealing with for over thirty years. Had brain surgery it totally changed the direction of my life. I am well now no more dementia symptoms and I give God all the Glory
So happy for you!! 👍👍👍🙏
My sister in law had a similar experience . Praises to the doctors who look for it.
iamslaphappy Yes thank you to my doctor, I was so loopy. Looking back I can see how bad I was, now I work out 🏋️♀️ with a trainer each week and I’m so much stronger. Finally starting to ride again 🐎
Thats not nice, god wasnt in the operating room or held any of the surgical instruments. Those doctors that helped you wouldve spent a lot of money just to be able to do what they did. So you put it down to someone that wasnt even there. So sad.

Watching this after 10 years of when it was uploaded.
I wish I had seen it earlier, I am sure I would have been able to help my mom better.
I miss her.
Thank you so much, for explaining it so well.
This video came up randomly in my recommended. This woman makes me want to learn everything about dementia. Absolutely incredible teacher.
She's wonderful, knowledgable, personable. I've learned more in 20 min watching than I've heard before.
ive worked in geriatrics for 30 years. Thought I knew it all when it came to alzheimers. I knew NOTHING!!! Thank you for posting these videos! They are great!
WOW! Your lecture was totally amazing. You are spot on about Dr.s missing the diagnosis. I’m having memory issues and am having difficulty getting someone to take me seriously. They tell me “well, you are turning 65 so it’s normal to have memory issues
I thought my husband was having early signs of dementia because he was in a second car accident in 3 years and this time did not see a car hauler coming from the left on a sunny day. He is a stroke survivor and has Parkinsons so it was natural for me to have that concern. DOT suspended his license until he could pass a medical exam. His PCP passed him and his optometrist flunked him after 2 tries. He has absolutely no peripheral vision to the left. He had recovered it after several years after his stroke and was able to drive again 11 years and now it's gone. In addition to be very hard of hearing, thank you Vietnam, the vision loss and the delayed processing of Parkinsons if you pressure him gives the impression of dementia. The vision loss explains so many things, he does not know I am there. Seeing a new neurologist next week. Will have lots to talk about. I could write a book.
I’ve seen you in person. You are so knowledgeable and especially helpful to caregivers-those who care for loved ones and those whose work it is to take care of people. Your presentation on how to care for a person with dementia is so insightful and heartfelt it made me weep. But that doesn’t make it any better when the person is your own mother just easier. Thank you.

You have blown me away with the delivery and ease at which your discuss this information, I am a nurse and teacher working in Further Education in Ireland, and will be referring my learners to this recording to help them understand this condition/s, just Brilliant!!!! I can not stress how Brilliant the delivery of this information is!! Concise, engaging, what an amazing Teacher!!!

My father is 85. This video makes so much sense to me. The initial question test is a joke! Thank you for the confirmation. 💕
I am a nurse in a long term care facility and I can say Teepa is spot on! The sad thing is that even the individuals that manage / run these facilities lack this knowledge.
In your opinion you think the president of USA shows signs of dementia?
I’ve been in a TH-cam wormhole with this lady. She is so damn knowledgeable
Thank you I find you so inspiring. You're my break time from my mum sometimes, who I've been living with and caring for 6 years. You're honesty and enthusiasm and knowledge gives me strength. Thank you
This is the scariest video I've seen this year. It's extremely helpful.
Absolutely outstanding! As a retired caregiver 30 years with Dementia cases of all types, I relate and endorse Teepa Snow to all my groups.
My husband has Alzheimer's disease, and whenever l speak to him over the phone, l end up in tears after l've hung up. It's stressful for me when my daughter takes me to visit him. It's depressing but l feel it's my obligation to keep contact with him as long as possible. He is deteriorating more each visit However. he knows who l am, and l am thankful for this. We love each other, but it's like observing a slow death. Sometimes , l wish my life was over, and l actually am looking forward to it.
Hey! search for Dr ehisz on TH-cam he cured my mother from Dementia and Alzheimer,he will cure help you too.
Thank you. Your presentation style, and wealth of information was absolutely wonderful.
My mom is 90...I am so thankful she has no dementia...good gosh...she is amazing. I hope I never do too..my heart breaks for those who,deal,with this.
Donna677 hats off to her. my dad is a double whammy he has stage four colon cancer and also early stages of dementia. my brother is the caregiver. i can't be the caregiver because i have health issues of my own. i am a hydrocephalus patient and a spasticity patient which is a form of cerebral palsy.
My mother too..her loss..its going to be hard
Like an old tree...I might survive another loss ...but it doesn't matter either way because this is the way of life
Very helpful video. My mother (72) has just been diagnosed with dementia by her primary care physician and will be seeing a specialist soon for further evaluation. I am confident this doctor will confirm the dementia diagnosis so it's a question now of determining what form of dementia she has, how advanced it is, and finding out what - if anything - can be done treatment-wise. For the last several years, my mother has also been battling depression and alcohol abuse/addiction. It's strange that all three of these issues - depression, dementia, and dependency - seem to hit her around the same time, which would be around age 65 or so. Before that, my mother had been a feisty, active, very "with it" woman who, although she used alcohol, was very rarely intoxicated (maybe once a year, if that). Recently, however, she's been falling, injuring herself, despondent, admitted to a psychiatric ward, extremely forgetful, very easily confused and/or scared, angry, resentful, etc., etc. I'm expecting a long, difficult road ahead and all information, such as that presented in this video, is appreciated.
James Kennedy I'm so sorry she's going through this. Take care of yourself too while you care for her.
Thank you very much. Trying my best to do just that.
How is your mother doing now 2 yrs. later? I have known several "working" alcoholics over the years and it is amazing how they didn't appear "drunk". I went on a business trip with one for three days and realized just how much he drank all day long, yet he appeared just fine.

@@alicesamekbenoit5990 Thank you for the information and for your kind words.
I am an RN and I love this woman. Currently I work in Med-Surg nursing and what we are currently seeing is the baby boomers with dementia. Teepa's knowledge is exceptional and helpful to my career.
WHY '. steroids cotaosteroids couse damentia. they are killing us
@@trafficjon400 Steroids and corticosteroids do?!
She did such an excellent job of explaining this.
That was amazingly eye-opening... thank you for coming down to our level... this kinda information requires intimacy
These videos are so amazing! My MIL is in the midst of moderate dementia. So much of your examples are exactly what she has been going through.
Teepa Snow is awesome. I had to laugh when she went through the litany of screening questions. Those screening questions have always been the same no matter where I was being screened. Spell the word 'world', now spell it backwards. Subtract from 100 by sevens. etc., etc., etc.
You are so awesome...I'm 74 and a caregiver of my mom 92 who was diagnosed with Dementia..
Love watching your videos..So very helpful..Breathing techniques omg..My bp is high Dr put me on more meds..Cholesterol is high so now meds for that...And now my hubby is having health issues..
I need 3 of me..
Thank you so much for you and your videos...Stay safe
She's a legend, and ALL caregivers living outside the U.S.
should use her works for training staff....TAKE NOTE, prime minister.
AMEN! I don't think our governments (outside U.S.) give a crap about people with dementia. I live in Greece and we live in the dark ages regarding dementia, it's disgusting.
Yep I don't have dementia and I can't remember those 3 words she mentioned!
We have developed comprehensive training programs (outside of US) That have a focus on dementia (in its many states and forms ). UFIRST , PIECES concepts ? Developed in Canada (where I am) the problem has nothing to do with availability of program it has EVERYTHING to do with the "Prime Minister " and government not implementing regulation of PSW'S . If it was regulated you can bet this would be part of the curriculum . Besides those factors we do learn GPA as part of my school's curriculum . The confusion lies in HCA's who go through 2-4 weeks of training then show up in LTC'F's and have no anatomical, physiological or pathological understanding of the root causes of disease . Not to mention how to work with people who have dementia not dementia patients .
-drops the mic
Why stipulate outside the US? I don’t understand the reason geography matters.
Eleni Andreou it's the same in the UK, i've just been diagnosed with dementia and I do live in sheltered housing. I have watched the way the carers take care of their clients, oh my God I will commit suicide before I will let any carers near me. I'm a young 62 and I've alway taken pride in myself and the way I look. I've had compliments all my life I still get them now lol. This is a cruel horrible disease it's not fair for my kids it's them that I'm bothered about.
This lady is amazing she has opened my eyes , now I'm understanding the jewels of dementia/Alzheimer's .now I'm feeling more positive in dealing with my father and also as a career for the elderly .
I have pretty bad Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family. Both of my dads parents had it worse and they managed to take care of each other but they declined very quickly. They passed together just four days apart and I know they did not remember much of anything but each other. All I know is that they were happy. I really want to go into dementia related research to help more people especially since this issue is so prevalent.
Thank you Teepa. What a lively and knowledgeable speaker!
first 5 minutes are spot on! this is exactly what me and my father went through trying to get a diagnosis for his failing brain -
Thank you, Teepa Snow. You are invaluable and this information is helping so many. Thank you!
omg when she was describing the vascular dementia (emotional control) the light bulbs and "you win" dinging just went off for me! THANK YOU!! Holy shit.
Sad situation to deal with
Thank you so much, these videos are so helpful. My mother refuses to have scans done so I don't know what sort of dementia she has, your descriptions of the different kinds of symptoms is brilliant, honestly, thank you! It is a cruel disease.
Hey! search for Dr ehisz on TH-cam he cured my mother from Dementia and Alzheimer
I'm up to us hi bi moo
Hi my sister, has dementia I just want to know, what type of dementia is this that she, accuse her daughter in-law saying that she wants to kill, her then she will say her daughter in-law is outside with people talking about her, if u talking to someone, she will say you talking about her, then she will swear such bad ugly words, is there anyone that has the same problem I just want to know, ❤
This was very informative.I'm training myself because I work for a company that doesn't train their employees properly.I do activities with memory care clients and I have experienced all of the issues Teepa discusses I've learned a few new facts from this, so I hope it will help me
I'm very glad I'd watched this, because I really wanna know what my mom is going through,it did help me a lot
Families should listen to Teepa Sno ! She is an amazing speaker
Hi. I am very impressed with what I am learning about dementia, Alzheimer’s and declining mental cognition. After what I’ve watched in these videos , I’m doing well for a person of 68 years of age. I am always stimulating my mind or brain with watching videos and learning about different new things so d with severe dementia and is currently conversing with no one present. Inmo
What a difference this made to me.... My family friend now trusts me and accepts my help more than anyone or carer's... Just the change in wording has worked like magic. Can't thank you enough! ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm currently doing a work placement in a dementia ward and it was great to watch this and learn more - appreciated. Loved the comment below about the complaint in lecturers use of swearing....care for someone with dementia and you'll pick up some more four letter words or worse!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I was disappointed that the word she used the most is a word that I used the most b/4 I became a Christian. I have a very large family and not one of us use that word. I don't believe that we'd "pick up" that word if we had to care for a loved one with dementia. I found her very likable, but it does make me wonder why it needed to be used so often. Shock value, maybe?
@@seniorhelpers it's all the heavy metals the government are spraying over us like bugs, watch chemtrails and the effect on the brain
Hello limolee can I ask something?
What is the contextual analysis of a person having dementia please help me?
This video is very informative. I work at a care facility in Calgary as an RTA specializing in music and with this video I can say I understand dementia a little bit more. Thank you!! Peace and love!!
At 13:31 she's describing my Mom with vascular dementia..wow..this woman is amazing!!
Yep my mom has it too
I am learning so ver much from you, Teepa. Although I have earned a PhD from university of Southern California, I am now retired a n am facing these problems..head-on..with my partner of 48+ yrs. I shall continue to learn behavior techniques as long as you so kindly keep forkin’ ‘em over. I am 88.
I love the lady thanks to teach how to handle the situation of person who has dementia.
Thank you for helping us to understand this which concerns to us all.
wow what an amazing speaker!
It's making me believe I have the early stages myself.. maybe further than that.
I don't know anyone with dementia but wow she sure can give a speech
Awesome... Tsught in a way that absolutely makes sense to everyone. I coukd listen to this woman for hours.
Teepa, you are a wealth of practical information. Thank you
I went to your conference.. I learned more in those 8 hrs than my 20 plus yrs experience in the field!! U ARE AMAZING TEEPA!! GOD BLESS YOU AN WHAT U TEACH US!!! I would go to every conference if i could. Thank you!!!💚💜
She is so awesome . Has a great personality . Keeps your attention.
Great info. My mother has dementia and every one of those bullet points was spot on. It makes me so sad for her. I miss my mother. I feel when someone suffers from dementia/ alzheimers you grieve them twice, while they still live, and then again when they die.
Yes that’s for sure. It’s a long, drawn-out grief process while they’re still living.
Wow thank you. You have taught me a lot. I'm being tested at 54 by a neuropsychologist to find out what's wrong with me. So far got through the first virtual session. Now I got to go on for the screaming. They are not sure why I have cognitive issues. I do have white matter on the brain but they don't know why. So they want to rule out brain damage or trauma. Or early onset dementia. I'm terrified. I thank you for this video.
I am seeking aa diagnosis for short term memory loss. I do hope it is because of insomnia and not a form of dementia!😢
I work in a memory care facility and this series has been very helpful.
This lady is such a talented teacher!!
11:19 - I ended up with a "TwoFor". My Mom was taking care of my war veteran Dad when she developed Dementia. And . . . I was left as the full-time carer at 41.
And . . . The government let my Family, and me, down completely!
horrible.
My mom has dementia.I'm a full time caregiver for her.I need all the help I can get.
Marsha Dube bless your heart! I wish you well.
God bless you 🙏
Me too Marsha..Everyday is different ...How are you doing with all if it?
You might like to check out the Care Blazers website I found it very helpful ( if your not aware of it already ) it’s brilliant. Good luck looking after your mum it’s tough I have been doing this work for 10 years only now a, I understanding how to care effectively.
I am also a caregiver for my mom we noticed after she had a fall and was baker acted from the fall she as about 65-66 years old she suffered a lot of depression all her life and as far as I can remember she was not a diabetic and was very active all the time plenty of sunlight daily so it’s very confusing and heartbreaking at the same time everyday is different
Thanks a million for your presentation. Excellent
Hey! search for Dr ehisz on TH-cam he cured my mother from Dementia and Alzheimer
This woman is a treasure
You are absolutely amazing! I love your talks! I have a lot of medication and health issues and I am quite worried about my brain just because I’ve been knocked out a few times in various ways and I’ve been having trouble with balance, memory etc 🤣😳 but you really are wonderful at teaching this in a way that people can relate to and ideas that we can hold on to. (And I’m not great at that!) Especially the umbrella term! It’s like IBS in a weird way. Humour is so important to help curb some of that fear. ! Anyway, thank you! We all might need this one day. It’s so hard to tell what’s going on if you have other things happening at the same time. Thank you 😊 ❤️
Everybody should listen and learn. Also experiencing and spending some time with them makes it more clearer understanding what’s going on in a person with dementia and other kind of dementia they got.
Thanks you so much for making this video. Many seniors are held prisoners in guardianship proceedings and stuck in Memory care facilities against their will when nobody has taken the time to properly intervene
Sherry Johnston very true
My MIL has stage 6-7 dementia in memory care. She hates it there.. but her 96 year old husband can't take care of her. I can't take care of her as I'm disabled. I feel guilty.. my husband feels guilty..,
Ms Snow, thank you for this video and your others. I am starting to have to deal with this in my wife, and this video explains so much.
Thank you for doing this video. My response is way too long.
After my mother had a stroke life became really tough, I was her main caregiver. She could be quite mean to me and I didn't understand why. Now, I know that she also had dementia way before I realized it.
One day she got angry that I wasn't ready to go to the store, I didn't even know we were going to the store. I was doing some of her yard work. When I told her I'd get changed, she got angry and left without me. We always went to the store together even if she drove.
But when she returned she was upset, maybe scared. I believe now that she didn't know where she was or something like that because she didn't normally go to this particular store. I believe she couldn't figure out where she was for a little bit. But as it continued she would say really cruel things and adding to the stress was that I had my own illness and had been given 18 months. Fortunately I overcame.
I didn't want to upset her by telling her. Now I wish I had told her to see if she understood.
Because she wouldn't let me go outside after 8 p.m. and I am a gardener, I decided to get a dog. I knew she had an MRI so I took my dog home got showered came back and she had one of those meltdowns because she thought I went to have surgery on myself. I was baffled. She was so upset with me and I had been in such a good mood.she demanded the code to her appointment right then even though we would be an hour and a half early. She wouldn't use a wheelchair so that also made it tough because she couldn't walk well.
But even before that she said one of the oddest things to me. I was molested by my uncle (mom's sister's husband). It ruined my life but we never talked about it until a week before her 80th birthday when she suddenly said that she didn't know that it was illegal for my uncle to touch me!
Maybe after all the years that she heard me say, if anyone ever touched my child they'd be praying for the police to rescue them from me" or Perhaps the dementia had started then but it shocked me so much that I told her I didn't want to talk about it. I felt that if she had that attitude then she wouldn't understand mine.
Pernell13489 , It sounds like you had an awful time with your mum. Relationships with parents can be hard enough, without them having dementia ! I know I had some very frustrating times with my father. What your mum said about your uncle molesting you, sounds like a very weird thing to say. Maybe she was trying to absolve herself of any responsibility in some way, but not realising it. It must have made you feel real mad. Once with my dad, I got so mad with him and I had a meltdown right there and then. But he just zoned out which made it worse. I hope things get better for you. Good luck 👍
Teepa Snow is a BRILLIANT educator!!
Amazing woman.Opens your eyes to info ive never heard
Hey! search for Dr ehisz on TH-cam he cured my mother from Dementia and Alzheimer,he will cure help you too.
The demetia screening at my last primary care was, "Are you leaving your keys in the freezer?"
Nine years in. I love you, grandma.
She's absolutely right my wife was very blessed with her Dr we spent 1 hour in the office.
When I tell that to people don't believe me.
Every time we go to a appointment we spent minimum of 30 minutes with the Dr .
My wife have LWBD very stressful , everything Teepa mentioned 100% right about LWBD.

My mother was always firing me. She would say, "The girl who pays the bills, please thank her and tell her we won't be needing her anymore." Or she would tell me to fire the girl who took care of her at night. She would never give me the reason. "I don't want to hurt her feelings," she would say.
I took care of her for seven years. I didn't go out much and always assumed that after she passed I would resume a more active life. But it didn't happen. I wasn't the same anymore. When I went out I would feel overwhelmed, desolate and out of place. If someone upset me I would go into a screaming rage. So I stay home with my cats, where I cook and clean, watch youtube videos and Netflix. I tend the garden, giving special care to her lemon tree , and treasure the good years we had.
Patricia Reilly , It’s sad to hear your story. All I know is that caregivers are very vulnerable people who suffer from all kinds of health conditions as a result of the relentless work they do. And after their loved one passes away, they are left with the residual stress of extreme exhaustion as well as psychological issues such as PTSD. Please don’t shut yourself away all of the time. Find a support group for carers in your area, or for people caring/grieving for relatives with Dementia. I’m sure they will help you, even tho your mum has passed away. They understand and they won’t make you feel out of place. I can help you find an organisation to contact, if you’re not feeling motivated. I’m Leonie Cent and I’m on face book.
Yes, same! I was surprised by my inability to bounce back after years of caring for my mom with the last year doing double duty giving her 24/7 care in my house and working full time as a teacher online during Covid19.
Six months ago, I finally got medicaid to take her case and got her placed in a dementia -focused adult family home.
There was a period of grieving and guilt which I guess I’m still not past yet. I’m also stressing about how I can set myself up so as not to place caregiving on my daughter, should I also get dementia.
It surprises me that I truly have no desire to be around others any more than I have too. Anyway, right there with you and hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for sharing this. My dad is finally going to a nursing home 5 years of hell. I haven’t had this much time off since I can remember and I just don’t feel like myself anymore. I don’t like being around other people much now and older people are frankly irritating. I thought it was just me but I wonder if this is a trauma response. Take care of yourself you deserve it ❤
@@ucanleaveyourhaton Thank you Leonie for your very kind reply. I somehow missed it when you posted it two years ago. I am doing much better than I was when I originally posted. Fortunately, I have a lot of family who are supportive.

shes good at what she dose iv watched this whole thing
this teacher delivers so well.
so so good.

Thank you so much for this video. I am a health care worker caring for elderly having dementia .
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge about dementia. Our social and health care systems are Not prepared.
I can tell you for sure as a breast cancer surviver who is on Letrozole, my memory is toast. I have been on it for 2 years and they want me on it for 8 more.
The doctors try to say its not the med, but I am in a group for women on these hormone blockers and we are all having the issue.
My mom died of dementia and I’m now 68 and paying close attention…she started developing symptoms around the age of 72…two weeks before her 81st birthday, she passed.
beautifully presented, the way she talks if studying science has taught me 2 things it is to do my research and intuitively feel an expert. she is one i d bet money on that
and the way she talks to the old people. she is close to them, not taking them from a distance with cold respect but using just the right amount of infantilisation, which i ve found is an incredibly powerful teaching tool. she doesn't treat them like kids- that would be just disrespectul- she goes to their level, makes sure to repeat or be very clear about the message to make sure its gotten accross all the while poking them making a bit fun of them etc, all valuable tools when used in right proportions to create a real link with the audience.
i m a physicist i love hearing an expert lecture theoretical stuff etc but hate it when you feel he s talking down to you or talking like you're a child. but i came to realise that that expert NEEDS to talk to non physicists as though they were children if he's explaining a physics things, cause in that situation they are. but if he just does that it comes down as condensending, she avoids that trap
I look after my husband and he's had Dementia for 6 years. His first MRI he's having is this month of April. I'm so happy 😊
This will be a great teaching tool for our caregivers.
I used to be a nurse and one thing I hate about attending seminars are boring speakers. I wish all of them presents like Teepa.
thank you, I am just in the beginning of being evaluation for member problems, heavy mri scan in a week on the memory areas.
I learned so much and wow she's the best! She's very knowledgeable. I love how she explained everything.
She does a great job explaining this. I think my Mom has dementia. She seemed to have depression after my Dad passed away
I have my father-in-law . My husband and I are at our end with not being able to get help. We are trying to get him diagnosed. This is a hard thing to do . He has a regular PCP and a newly neurologist. This week he got violent wants the keys to his car he hasn’t drove in months but wanted his keys . I went to the doctors to get something to calm him down . No help at all . It is very hard to be a caregiver when no one wants to listen to you
Thank you for this invaluable video 🙏🙏🙏
I just lost my dad July 19 2017 with dementia. It was very sad to watch my dad go through this. It's heart breaking
Faye,
Hi, God called for my Mom who had Dementia this April 2019, I cared for her for 17 years.
Losing parent is hard. I pray we will see them again in Heaven. God bless you.
One of the best presenters I have ever seen. Brilliant
You are a fabulous teacher!
She is amazing! Really enjoying her approach as I am caring for someone with altzeimers!
Thank you for the information. My dad is showing some changes in cognition, but seems unaware of it. He's stubborn too and won't get evaluated.
My mother is 61 years old and I've been trying to figure out why she's rapidly started to decline over the last year especially .... She can barely walk and her hand tremors... Yesterday she couldn't open a pack of sandwich meat. She's started isolating more and more.
I watched this video because I had a suspicion. My grandma had dementia but it wasn't related to Alzheimer's. I have a lot of difficult decisions to make.
Thank you for sharing the different stages of dementia , I work in an assisted living and the residents that has the decease some times , it's kind of hard to analyze the behavior because, they don't let us now I'm very sympathetic I'm a house keeper and I want to engage with them have a wonderful new year...
