How does dementia develop and what to do
Relatives of the patient?
initially
The memory is violated, the ability to learn is lost, weakens interest in

colleagues, refuses the usual classes and forms of leisure. Together with
Those, the ability to independently disappears, the patient is completely
able to serve himself and does not need permanent care. In this period
It is especially important to pay attention to the emerging violations and turn on time

Dementia, primarily implies the respect of the personality of the patient. It does not follow
annoyance and scold for inaccurability, inability to use household
devices, inattention to requests — These are not a person's personal qualities, it is
manifestations of disease. Try to keep respect and warm feelings for the patient,
Together with competent treatment, this will allow for a long time to enjoy communication with
loved ones.
