So let us begin, in the next 40 minuits

I would like to take you through this journey called Understanding a Dementia Patient.

In this session we will see that a person who has lost his memory,

changes in their personality and why they start behaving differently.

Reasons behind the different behaviour acts and how we come up with it as an abnormality.

What should we interpret behind this abnormality?

After that, we should understand that behind this abnormality the person has some needs.

Today we will see how to modify this caregivers perception about the problem.

The patient would repeatedly ask the same questions

would do the same tasks again and again, which would annoy the caregiver.

The person would randomly go out involve themselves in carpentry at the heat of 2:00 p.m.

To explain this to them you will have to understand them yourself first.

To build the understanding you need to look through their point of view.

People keep saying that the old people at their place are acting abnormally.

The reason behind that behaviour can be their mental state.

I would like to explain that to you with some analogies and examples.

I know today's lecture will be a bit hard for you people

but with the coming lectures it will be easy.

Can we understand their unexpressed need ? which is expressed as deviated behavioral patterns.

Their patterns are abnormal because they are unable to express their needs

What are the benefits of out of this for us? What if we train a brain to understand these need.

If we identify these behaviours which is Doctors work we will know the benefits of it.
