My partner, in his mid 60’s is showing signs of dementia. He repeats the same stories over and over, does not remember questions that he previously asked, has become very self absorbed and has problems organizing and planning, yet has no awareness that he does. It is so incredibly frustrating. When I bring it to his attention he gets very defensive and blames it on stress or that he has too many things to do. He has little insight into how he behaves or how the decisions he makes are causing problems. I find I am angry with him so much of the time, at the same time it is very concerning. I also noticed that somethings that rely on long term memory he can do very well and somethings he can remember in the short term and others he can’t, so it is a constant rollercoaster. Recently, he was repairing something and was having difficulty putting it back together, he spent hours and hours trying to figure it out. He usually takes a picture to help remember how things were done but he didn’t remember that he even took the picture. And didn’t think to look that he had taken it. I have learned to intervene sooner. It’s so hard to know at this stage what’s going on but I can’t trust that he will remember agreements or conversations, so it is a constant source of tension. I appreciate your videos and think I will get your book.
So sorry you are in this situation. Yes, this is concerning and, of course, very stressful. The book does provide a lot of guidance on how to get an evaluation, even if the older person is denying/unaware of symptoms or is reluctant to see a doctor. I also recommend finding a support group for people coping with memory symptoms in their partner. Take care and good luck!
My mom's doctor gave her a brief memory "test" during an exam and she said she has "age related memory loss". That doesn't help my mom or myself, especially as I see the changes in my mom daily. It's scary and the doctors don't really seem to care. I feel so alone.
Sorry to hear of this; it sounds like the doctors didn't feel helpful to you. This unfortunately is fairly common. In my book "When Your Aging Parent Needs Help", I explain what should happen during a memory evaluation and how families can advocate for this. You can find the book on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/Aging-Parent-Needs-Step-Step/dp/173615320X I also recommend finding a support group or an online course on how to help a parent with memory loss. It's important to get support. This is often a challenging phase of life but there are others going through it too, and you can get support from them. Good luck and take care!
I was glad to hear I was normally aging. The information on the tip of my tongue drives me nuts or going upstairs on a mission and then getting there, turning around and going back downstairs looking around where I left that thought is a nuisance, but good exercise. I also saved your book as well as I might be needing it to work with a friend that may really need it.
Thanks dr. You are appreciated. My mom is going through this as i listen to you. Its rough at times. Mom is a diabetic and now in a rehab from a broken leg also going to dialysis.She see pic on the wall thats not there she even forgot who i was for a bit. Its sad to see this take place, i have started her on vitamin d3, magnesium and zinc. She also has glaucoma. I'll keep praying to our Lord a savior Yeshua. He will guide us to our treatment. I came across your channel 🤔. Appreciate the knowledge. Thanks
Video Chapters: 00:00 Helping Older Parent with Memory Loss Podcast. 00:38 Is it normal to have short term memory loss as one gets older? 03:20 What should you do if your aging parent has memory loss? 04:32 Short-term memory loss is NOT a normal part of aging.
I wishfound you sooner my partner has passed now. What a journey I went through with no help. I also have put a neighbour in Dementia ward Age Care. Put him under Gov looking after his money public trust but he continually accuses me of money loss which is so much against my grain it takes everything I have to forgive him and help him more! Thank you for your insight that is common
This is a very interesting and insightful video! I really like your channel, but I'm coming from not your demographic. I am almost 54 and have MCI and short term memory issues and executive dysfunction. I also have dementia & Alzheimer's in my family, and I have the gene for predisposition. Your channel is repeatedly helpful to me across your videos, and I'm happy to subscribe to your channel. Thanks!
My dad started seeing things and saying wired things he is 86 yrs old this happened for 2 days now for 2 days he is quite could this be early sign of Dermentia or the Norflex tablet he took for pain. Should we just monitor him I don't know need your advice please best regards Victor
I'm 81 and i'm sort of diagnosing my own short term 😮memory loss. I have discussed it with my long term Dr and (wife), who spent time with me and concluded my loss was normal for my age. I'm in good health otherwise doing well for my age. But my loss seems to be accelerateing? Any suggestions on what to do.
My mother losses her memory during normal day suddenly.when she is eating ,(for example) she is looking around and her face looks different and her mouth chews something. Then she don’t know what she was doing before and even she don’t know to eat it again and she simply taking the food and keeping it aside.. first it was monthly once now we are seeing it weekly .. pls help
This sounds concerning. I would recommend bringing this up with her doctors soon. If the primary care doctor is not sure what it is, neurology might be more helpful. Good luck!

Your going to experience these things too 👍 a lot of these thing's occur with any age group depending on what's happening in your life
NO NO NO NO!!!!
How can we judge, so many things to consider at any age, and pigeon holing people especially older people is just that ...... Judging
So this is just about promoting a product?
