Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

In today’s video, I talk about delirium. This is a common syndrome that can happen to anyone, but it is more common in people with dementia. It often looks like confusion and behavioral difficulties and is often mistaken for a new dementia stage or worsening of dementia. Delirium can be treated and whenever it’s suspected your loved one should get medical attention to a workup can be done to try and determine the cause. Watch today’s video to learn about delirium, what can cause delirium, and common symptoms of delirium. I hope it helps.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
