- Issues with Eating and Drinking and Dementia.
You and I generally take eating and drinking for granted. We understand when we are hungry and or thirsty we know what to do and how to do it. However, when Dementia is involved, there are often many changes here.
You might notice interesting changes in the way your loved one with dementia experience food, eating and drinking. This is due, in the main part, to the cognitive, sensory, behavioural and physical changes linked to their dementia.
These changes often lead to weight loss, dehydration, and malnutrition. However, equally these changes can result in overeating and even increased chocking and aspiration risks.
Today we will review what these changes are, why these changes may occur and offer some stag to help.

9 min - 7 things not to say to someone with dementia.
At some stage communication will begin to change for your loved one with dementia. Many conversations with them will at some time feel repetitive, confusing, or emotionally charged.
As a caregiver you will instinctively try to remind, correct, or even try to reorientate your loved one. While these responses come from a place of care and love, they often can increase frustration or distress, for both of you.
Dementia will change how the brain of your loved one processes information, stores memories, and understands the world around them. Because of this, the way in which you communicate matters more than ever.
Very small shifts in language, words, and expression, can reduce anxiety, prevent arguments, and strengthen your connection with your loved one.
Today we will look at seven common phrases to avoid — and what to say instead.

9 min - Is the term Reversable Dementia correct? Yes or No.
This episode will be a little controversial but it’s a topic that require discussion. Over recent years the term reversable dementia has crept into some medical language. This is occurring mainly in the United States and Canada, and it appears that doctors outside of Australia like to use this term.
And if you google the words ‘can Dementia, be reversed ?’ you will see a myriad of webpages, blogs, opinion pieces, videos, unsupported news articles, etc, that discuss reservable dementia, with many claims that promote, and advertises unsupported health practices and misinformation on dementia related matters.
However, as supported by the global definition of dementia, I state that dementia is not reversable… Simple…
So today you will discover why I make this statement, that dementia is not reversable.

9 min - False beliefs and delusions in dementia.
Your loved one with dementia will often experience false beliefs and delusions which they will perceive and truly believe things that are clearly not true, and these beliefs will feel very, very real for them. These delusions and false beliefs will occur at any stage of dementia; however, these are more common as the dementia condition progresses.
They often revolve around the belief that someone is trying to hurt them and/or someone is stealing from them.
But what are false beliefs and delusions? And what can you do to support your loved one.
Well, that’s what we will discuss today.

9 min - Why Is Young Onset Dementia Growing globally
Way back in series 3 I introduced you to Young Onset Dementia via the episode called ‘What is Young Onset Dementia’. In that episode you would have discovered that Young Onset Dementia is any form of dementia that occurs in people under the age of 65 years. Many people are shocked to know that people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s do develop dementia, and it’s far more common than your community understands. You may wish to relisten to that episode.
The cases of Young Onset Dementia are increasing , and today you and I will explore a range of social, medical, and demographic factors that may explain why Young Onset Dementia is growing in Australia and globally.

9 min - Aphasia and Dementia – when words get lost.
Welcome to series 8 of Dementia Demystified.
Again, I like to throw in new words and phrases that are linked to dementia. In this episode you will hear and learn about Aphasia, what it is and how it impacts your loved one with dementia.
Aphasia and dementia are two distinct conditions; however, they often intersect with each other and can significantly impact quality of life. Understanding possible signs and available treatment options is crucial for early intervention and ongoing care.
While there is currently no cure for aphasia or dementia, there are several strategies that can help manage symptoms of both and improve quality of life.

9 min - False Claims About Dementia Treatments.
For those who have listen to other episodes hopefully you understand that dementia is a complex group of conditions that affect thinking, memory, and behaviour, and that there is over a hundred different diseases that will cause a dementia condition, and that dementia is not a normal part of ageing.
As awareness of dementia continues to grow, unfortunately so too has the spread of misinformation grown, including potential treatments and cures. This is concerning as it is very important to recognise and address many of the false claims to ensure your loved one living with dementia and you are not misled or put at risk.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of misleading, even dangerous information available, and that’s why it is crucial to examine the quality of health information that is online, particularly on social media because it may be inaccurate – or worse.
There are many common false claims about dementia treatment. Let’s review some of them.
