If your loved one with dementia believes they are living decades in the past, you are not alone. They may ask for parents who passed away long ago, think they still have a job they retired from years ago, or believe their children are still young.
In this episode, I explain why this happens in dementia, why correcting someone often makes things worse, and how you can respond in a way that reduces distress instead of escalating the situation.
