Thanks for the video. Having proper diagnosis of the dementia is important. 30% of cases can be attributed to other diseases. Depression has many symptoms as Alzheimer's disease. Poor memory, apathy, are common.
Excellent! As a full time caregiver I identify with everything you express! I had to in many cases disimpact my mother and so much more. thank you for sharing this!
This doctor appears to know what he is talking about. I would wish to be in a nursing home where his principles are instituted. His emphasis on Recreational Activities, snacking, napping & the five percipients of misbehavior are key to understanding & interacting with a dementia patient.
Thank you Dr. Powers. Your presentation was godsend to me. I am struggling with my demented loving husband Alzheimer’s very insulting disease indeed. I was shocked with the misidentification issue it really hurt me deeply couple days ago it v came unexpectedly. Knowledge is power thank you for Shedding light on these complex multi factorial major cognitive disorders. Makes me wiser as to how to deal with the cognitive and behaviors problems from this incurable disease. Thank you so much for your contributions, knowledge and expertise, it benefits not just the people that you see on regular basis but you are helping the world. Thank you so very much. God bless you
Thank you so very much Doctor for sharing all your valuable knowledge on this subject. I have followed & listened to all your series & I have become more aware & knowledgable of/on so many areas relating to dementia & psychosis. God bless you always.
Australian retired senior social worker, but with severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from the usual and most common cause: motor vehicle accident (MVA). The medical model described in this "Disease" is from ICD 10 or ICD 11. The psychiatric or psychological model is called DSM. Both these individualized professional "Bibles" are being revised and changed every few years. Most social workers and our clients are much more familiar with the social and cultural models of "dementia". Some cultures and some social groups prefer the "dementia" way of living. Festivals, party time, celebrations, "relaxation" and even " therapy". My personal experience ever since my TBI, more than 38 years ago here in Australia, has been living with medical "dementia". Fatigue comes so much earlier and is more accessible to temporarily or permanently incapacitated people. Hence, the popularity of coffee, and other behavioral and chemical treatments. Dementia also can be daily, seasonal (summer, winter, etc) as well as cultural or behavioral. Often the family, visitors and retained behaviors might give the excuse or cause of such dementia behaviors. Nighttime, weekends, and other environmental factors cause temporary or permanent changes, to the routines of all emergency staff, worldwide. This video should be the basis of a general understanding of all disruptive behavior. Dementia happens to most people, in all age groups, despite whatever medical conditions might exist. Emergency treatment staff, such as this video, should know how normal dementia behaviors can be. It is not a "disease" to be treated by only one medical groups.th-cam.com/video/Zrw7qeJP1ws/w-d-xo.html
One thing I discovered when my Mom ended up in a hospital, was her Vitamin B, as well as D3, were totally depleted once the vitamin deficiencies were fixed she was better. The D3 is linked to depression especially to youth, and once a person hits 50, taking Vitamin B in pill form no longer does anything for them. IT needs to be either liquid under the tooth or tongue or a shot. THis gets the B vitamin into their system.SO if your elderly parent starts acting strangely first try their vitamin D3 and B levels, by a simple blood stick at their doctor's office. Please stop using the word demented so frequently.IT really sounds HARSH...
Very old Australian man myself now. Used to be a social worker, specializing in disturbed adults of all kinds. Thank you for noticing chemical causes of demented behavior. Here in Australia, our culture causes such behavior. Poor use of sugars, alcohol, and many "recreational" drugs. These chemicals can come from family, visitors, or the individual "patient".
Finally sound advise I can understand.
Thank You! for the information. It’s a cruel disease. God bless my Mother.

This video was posted 2013 but the doctor used data from 1990. Percentages have changed in more recent studies.

I think this doctor knows his stuff.
Agreed. This doctor is very knowledgeable. There’s not many of them out there.
I wish senior care employees were better trained.
