Alzheimers
Kate asked:


My great aunt was just diagnosed with dementia. I asked my mom what the difference was between dementia and Alzheimers since they seem to be the same thing to me. Does anyone have any info?
A little more info…she walked out of the house at 2am and was found by the cops, who then brought her to the hospital. They ran some tests on her and said it was dementia. Please say a prayer for her. I love her a lot.

      Dementia is a craziness, where the mind won’t locate on a particular, but goes in all directions. This makes the person affected seem like another individual entirely.

      Alzheimer is a forgetting. The people can otherwise be as they always have been, except they cannot remember names or faces - and often forget what they are doing in the middle of doing it. Their basic personality often remains as always…..either as kindness, or irritability…..
      My dear aunt got this disease but remained as sweet and loving as she had always been.

      Both very sad illnesses that attack elders.
