KNOWTHY "SENILE
DEMENTIA" EARLY ON
I wished I had known "senile
dementia" earlier and my
mother's symptoms better con-
trolled and progression curtailed.
She became melancholic, quiet
and sobbed often. I should have
consulted psychiatrists then; as
medications may help to slow
down the disease progression.
As she could not even tell her
address when lost, I should have
put her name card with address
and telephone in her pocket.
When she became confused and
agitated, my father suffered su-
perficial wounds - I thought of hid-
ing all sharps and cutting her
nails. She was like a lost sheep
but was willing to pour herself out
to clinical psychologists. Medica-
tions helped to control her agita-
tion but her disease still pro-
gressed steadily. At 75, she be-
gan to have rigid limbs and we
had to hire a nanny to assist her.
Despite her memory loss, she
could react appropriately when
watching TV. At 80, her brain at-
rophy worsened, not just double
incontinence for years.Countless
nights, countless sacrifices,
countless resources were poured
in to achieve her contented smile
- the power of love had enriched
her mental world. On looking
back, it pays to know more about
this devastating disease earlier
on.
