Delusions are defined as "false beliefs," but these beliefs feel VERY real to people living with dementia. In this episode, I explain how delusions are different from hallucinations and illusions. I explain the 3 common types of delusions that you may encounter caring for a person living with dementia: persecutory (paranoid), jealousy, and scarcity. This content will help you develop strategies to understand and manage delusional behavior--which I explore in deeper detail during the next podcast, "Episode 43: Dementia Delusion Solutions."

My book, "Make Dementia Your B*tch! An Easy Guide to Understanding Dementia-related Behaviors" is now available on Amazon!  Order it here.
