Season 1 Episode 18: Delusions, or Denial?

A Balancing Act: Navigating A Loved One's Memory Loss by Kelly A Bertenshaw, MA CCC SLP ECDCS

Episode notes

Dishonesty in people with dementia is a frequent and often troubling behavior that poses challenges for both the individual and their family members. By recognizing the different reasons behind this behavior—such as difficulty coping with what’s happening to them, or the inability to process what is going on in and around them—you can respond with increased empathy and patience. Your loved one is not deliberately trying to mislead you; they are navigating a debilitating and progressive condition. You both will need understanding and compassion.
