Alzheimer's society, Patient profiles
These three patient profiles show the diversity of people that are affected by dementia and how they can vary so much in their personality and mannerisms.
A common theme between all three of the profiles is that they all mention that they enjoy company and hate being alone, but most mention that they often have friends, neighbours etc round to see them. Also it was noted that all three were either involved within a creative trade or expressed a love for music and dancing, this could be a common trait amongst those with dementia?
Also all of the videos above show the individuals talking a little about their lives and whilst they have strong recollections of what they used to do etc, they all seem to have points where the struggle and get confused with words. Whilst they seem to brush over the problem and quickly correct themselves this demonstrates the ways in which it would be possible for a person with dementia to get confused with a situation.
