Advice to caregivers from another viewpoint
Hello all, I have dementia but I’m still aware of the situation. Another post about YouTube prompts me to add my $.02. Caregivers, when interacting with your patient, you don’t need to be so serious!! We can all laugh at ourselves and laughter is good medicine. Check out some YouTube videos on Dementia Comedy. Dementia Humor etc. Some of it is hilarious. Speaking for myself only, it doesn’t hurt my feelings. Speaking to me as if I am to be pitied is much worse.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers: Dementia Support Group.
Omg I couldn’t cope with that. That will wear you down. I wish I had some advice
