#CSCW2024 preprint✨ How can we improve the #mentalhealth of informal caregivers suffering from verbal agitation of people with #dementia ?
Verbal agitation (e.g., screaming, cursing), a common symptom of dementia, aggravates informal dementia caregivers’ mental health. We interviewed 11 informal dementia caregivers suffering from verbal agitation, and discussed opportunities for improving their mental health.

This is about my husband, who tonight is at death's doorway, waiting for dementia to finish making Swiss cheese of his dying brain.
He looked so alone and small

Heart failure mortality stands out as having declined during the pandemic, remaining well below historical trendline to this day.
Ischemic heart disease deaths increased during the first year, but have been more or less declining toward baseline since then. (Notably, ischemic heart disease is the only subgroup to have been on a downward trajectory pre-pandemic.)
Hypertensive, cerebrovascular, and other diseases of the circulatory system, though each seeing declining annualized mortality in recent months, each remain well above their respective historical trendlines.](https://assets.toot.cafe/cache/media_attachments/files/111/474/035/931/162/099/small/edd16dc682614a12.png)

After spiking in first year of the pandemic, annualized Alzheimer disease and dementia mortality dropped just as swiftly, thereafter remaining near or below historical trend.
Diabetes mortality has not been so quick to recover from first year spike, only beginning to decline in the second half of last year, though still well above pre-pandemic trend.
Deaths by sepsis were markedly down in 2019, following a coordinated national effort by hospitals. Despite this, sepsis mortality has been climbing at a rate well above even pre-2019’s relatively flat trendline, for over three years now.
Renal failure deaths didn’t see an appreciable climb until the latter part of 2021, peaking only months ago. Meanwhile, malignant neoplasm (cancer) deaths, slower to manifest, have been suggestively creeping above trend for well over a year.](https://assets.toot.cafe/cache/media_attachments/files/111/474/036/034/994/431/small/526f3b2f74e26979.png)

Air Pollution Is Really Dangerous, Even More New Evidence Shows

“PM2.5 particles are tiny enough to enter the bloodstream and lodge in the lungs, where they contribute to respiratory problems such as asthma. They also can prompt heart attacks and strokes. And they have been linked to diabetes, obesity and dementia and may exacerbate COVID.”

Shout-out to all the folks helping a loved one cope with #dementia on this holiday. I know how hard it is, how many titanic struggles go unnoticed as the world goes on, how losses are compounded by the slow erosion of what used to be, and how hard it all is to talk about. I see you.
Sending #gratitude to all my fellow carers (current and former). At least for a day, please try to set aside self-doubts; focus on all that you are accomplishing for those you love and who love you in return, even when they cannot find the words.

I’ve been here for a year 🥳 and it’s about time for an #intro. Hi, I’m Ms. Mac. Pronounced ‘Miss Mac! Miss Mac!’ and accompanied by a warm hug. Former runner, avid reader & gardener. I’ve lived my life backward. Grew up in #Michigan; didn’t really have a childhood for … reasons. Put myself through Smith College in #Massachusetts. Fabulous women’s college, can recommend. Lived in #Chicago, then #Bisbee, Arizona. Got married, had a couple awesome kids, then went to law school. University of #Arizona. Go Wildcats! Had a career in civil, criminal, appellate work, mainly as an Assistant US Attorney. Had a bonus baby — now a teen 🫠 — and another marriage. Then family needed me, so I retired. Cared for my mom with #dementia til the end. Accidentally fell into the Best Job in the World: public school #librarian & community #gardener. I’m finally giving back to my community, to this k-8 #school full of beautiful, loving, enthusiastic kids from all over the world. I am the luckiest woman ever, knock wood. 🌈

Death Lesson #2
The gap between WONDERING and KNOWING if someone has dementia is where all the money gets lost.
Take your loved ones to the doctor to screen them for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Keep in mind: It’s not an accusation; it’s a gesture of care. People still able to drive a car and use a computer may not be thinking rationally, and they are vulnerable to scammers.
If you see changes in their personality, such as loss of interest in usual activities, not taking care of themselves, lacking empathy for others, or extreme defensiveness, it’s time to step in and help before they empty their life savings on someone they’ve never met.
As #dementia becomes more advanced, living in the moment can be central to quality of life.
"Trauma comes back as a reaction, not a memory."
A must-read re: #dementia, #funding, #caregiving, & the madness, the cruelty of our #healthcare system. "nothing has opened my uncovered-by-insurance eyes to the sadism and untenability of our for-profit health-care system as much as sharing a home and a life with a man caring for a wife with Alzheimer’s. It is untenable to expect family members of those living with Alzheimer’s to either bear a yearly six-figure burden for memory care, quit their jobs, or get a divorce." https://www.thedailybeast.com/america-to-families-with-alzheimers-youre-on-your-own

This is an extremely difficult moment. My father may not have known me as his early-onset #Alzheimers worsened but I always knew he loved me. That understanding sometimes held me together. If this moment speaks to you, here are two excellent books about #dementia: #DashaKiper's Travelers to Unimaginable Lands and #SandeepJauhar My Father's Brain. I also honored my father with a #memoir that I wrote with #neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller.

#DeepSleep #Sleep #Dementia #Science #Research
As little as 1 per cent reduction in deep sleep per year for people over 60 years of age translates into a 27 per cent increased risk of dementia, according to a Monash study which suggests that enhancing or maintaining deep sleep, also known as slow wave sleep, in older years could stave off dementia.

We gain so much when we support our loved ones rather than trying to force them into a world they no longer recognize.
"In all, people diagnosed with dementia saw their out-of-pocket spending for health care more than double and their net worth decline by more than 60 percent within the first eight years of being diagnosed, the study finds."

@georgetakei
I think it's important to make #fascists in general, and #Trump in particular, accountable for their actions.
With that in mind, let's not do Trump a favor by repeating the claim that he's demented or insane or otherwise NOT responsible for his actions. He's evil, he's a liar, he's deeply stupid, and none of that is insane or demented. If he wants to claim insanity or mental defect, let him prove it in a court of law.
A good reminder to live life fully whether you have #dementia, are a caregiver, or realize you could be later in life.
Graun on under diagnosis of #dementia, posting as contains some useful analysis of stats with links to sources. The conclusions drawn by politicians here are not all correct and reported uncritically.
This isn't about the over-hyped new drugs, but rather about safety, self-knowledge, and access to (and planning for) existing services. Delayed diagnosis will mean people missing out on already in-use drugs for management of early stage of #Alzherimers.
Hey #horticulture peeps. What's your suggestions for #indoorPlants that would be good for an elderly person with #dementia? Things that are hard to kill by either neglect, or overwatering, for a bright room but with no direct sunlight in cool temperate climate lutruwita/Tasmania).
