Everyday Dementia Guide

22. Is this normal? Social Withdrawal


Listen Later

We're continuing the series here on Everyday Dementia Guide about what’s normal and expected when living with dementia versus what’s a problem. Sometimes it can be hard to recognize and label what behavior you are seeing until someone points it out to you. When my family was supporting my dad, we didn’t know what we were supposed to expect and what was coming next, and what we should try to avoid, and neither did the professionals we consulted. So, we’re going to go through some of the things you might start to see, and whether they’re expected and what to do when you see them, today we're talking about day sleeping.

In this episode:

  • Is social withdrawal normal?
  • What does it look like?
  • How to support your loved one and yourself

Resources: 

  • Want to ask your specific questions or just talk through one of the issues you're facing? Book a FREE Dementia Guide Consultation - 30 mins, Zoom or phone
