Why People With Dementia Remember Delusions But Not Reality


Listen Later

Why can someone with dementia remember a delusion in vivid detail, yet forget what actually happened? In this video, I explain why dementia affects emotional memory differently from factual memory and why delusions can feel so real and unshakable. When you understand what's happening in the brain, it becomes easier to respond with comfort instead of argument.

If you've ever felt frustrated trying to correct or reason with a loved one who believes something that isn't true, this will help you understand why logic doesn't work and what does.
