Patient Comments: Dementia - Types

Main Article on Dementia

Question:

What type of dementia do you or a loved one have? Submit Your Comment

Comment from: WilliamMDavis, 45-54 Male (Caregiver) Published: November 08

My father is also having vascular dementia. He has become restless and aggressive. We need lots of patience to handle him. As I am now unable to provide him that kind of attention and care, we family members have decided to place him in a good dementia care where he will get all the love and care. I just hope my decision is right.

My mother has vascular dementia. I would like to connect with others and share stories.
