I Just Don't Understand Your Mother Anymore

by Rosemary Dunne as told by Alberta McNamara
This is the story of one family's journey through their parents' Alzheimer experience... When Vera Orr disappears out of the blue, 38 hours pass before she is brought home. She is completely unaware of the enormous search and terrible trial everyone has been through. Vera simply says to her daughter "you look tired, let me get you something to eat." This is a wonderful collection of stories told with humour and love reflecting upon their experience. This is the story of one family as they discovered their matriarch had probably been covering up for several years before they joined her remaining eleven-year journey. A captivating story for every caregiver to learn from and enjoy.

Dementia: Causes, Evaluation, and Management
JULIE P. FAGO
Dartmouth Medical School
More than two million Americans currently have some form of dementia, and that number is certain to grow with the aging of the U.S. population. New drug therapies and recent advances in research hold out promise. Appropriate advance care planning, caregiver education and support, and clinical strategies can significantly promote quality of life.
Dr. Fago is Associate Professor of Medicine, Center for Aging, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, N.H.
Pathophysiology
Dementia can result from a variety of degenerative, vascular, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, and metabolic disorders (Table 1). The three most common types are Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia (previously referred to as multi-infarct dementia), and Lewy body dementia.

Information from the new guidebook
October 25, 1999 Web posted at: 6:45 p.m. EDT (2245 GMT) Patients with dementia may be "critically dependent" on others, cannot operate common appliances, frequently have problems finding words, dressing and performing complex tasks such as cooking a meal or balancing a checkbook. They may get lost in a familiar area and need hours to return home. ALSO Tests to help assess mental impairment can include asking a patient to name the current date and the location; draw a clock face; count backwards from 100 by sevens or spell "world" backward; identify a wristwatch and pencil, write a sentence or copy a design. Physical tests such as blood counts and neurological workups can help determine whether a person has dementia or delirium. Delirium, which can be caused by vitamin deficiencies and other problems, has abrupt onset of symptoms and usually is reversible.

Summary: Answers to consumer questions about memory loss and confusion.
Text: Q. What is dementia?
A. Dementia is a name given to a group of symptoms
which result from failing brain functions. The major signs are memory loss, confusion, disorientation and lessening of intellectual functioning.
We all forget things from time to time, perhaps a little more so as we age, but the loss of memory with dementia is different. It is persistent and progressive, not just occasional. It means losing a job. It means forgetting to light the gas. It means not being able to find one's way. Eventually it means forgetting how to dress, how to attend to personal hygiene or even how to finish a sentence. Q. What causes dementia?

108. Dementia 13 (1963)
Review of the movie by Richard Scheib.
http://www.roogulator.esmartweb.com/horror/dementia13.htm
    DEMENTIA 13 aka THE HAUNTED AND THE HUNTED Rating USA. 1963. Cast Luana Anders (Louise Haloran), William Campbell (Richard Haloran), Bert Patton (Billy Haloran), Patrick Magee (Justin Caleb), Mary Mitchell (Kane), Eithne Dunn (Lady Haloran) Plot Members of the Haloran family gather at the ancestral Irish castle to attend the annual commemoration of the death of Kathleen, a daughter of the family who drowned in the lake six years earlier. After John Haloran dies of a heart-attack, his wife Louise dumps his body in the lake and then pretends that he has returned to New York, needing to maintain the pretence that he is alive in order to claim the family inheritance. She then begins an elaborate ruse to convince Lady Haloran that the late daughter is still alive and trying to communicate with her. But her deception is discovered and Louise is decapitated by an axe-wielding killer, who then proceeds to start killing the rest of the family. These days Francis Ford Coppola is one of the finest directors in the world with spectacularly imaginative, epic sized and occasionally topplingly indulgent works like The Godfather (1972) and sequels

What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Related NINDS Publications and Information What is Dementia With Lewy Bodies? Is there any treatment? Scientists continue to search for a specific course of therapy for people with dementia with Lewy bodies. Treatment is symptomatic, often involving the use of medication to control the parkinsonian and psychiatric symptoms. However, patients should be aware that antiparkinsonian medication that may help to reduce tremor and loss of muscle movement may actually worsen such symptoms as hallucinations and delusions. Similarly, neuroleptic drugs prescribed for psychiatric symptoms may in fact markedly worsen the movement symptoms. In general atypical antipsychotic medications are more successful than older drugs such as haloperidol. What is the prognosis?
