My husband was diagnosed with "dementia" in February and was gone in May, just three months later. He was 85 years old. I'd never heard of vascular dementia before. It was a horrible thing to witness and and even more horrific way to die. I hope they find out more about this nasty form of dementia which I was told is the worst type of dementia that one can have. May my poor late husband Rest in Peace. 🙏🙏🙏

I just want to say, I am "one of these patients." Diagnosed this past Monday. I find this video very useful. I have co-existing conditions. As I am learning about this condition; it is the first time in my life I have heard exercise could help prevent this. Perhaps, this should be a part of public health information.

Thank you Dr. Chen, my step Dad is diagnosed with vascular - dementia, and keep praying for miracles ... Blessing 🌺🙏🌺

Very Clear presentation. Thank you!

My mother is dealing with this right now! Thanks for this information

Thank you Doctor for this great information. God Bless.

Great presentation. My mom and I Live in a rural location and after almost 3 weeks in rural hospital mom had to be transferred to a geriatric psychiatric unit in Chicago because our small hospital didn’t allow a psychiatrist into hospital to evaluate her. 2 &1/2 wks without psychiatric evaluation (in 1st hospital) while mom was going thru a sudden psychotic episode. (3 weeks in Chicago hospital)Eventually diagnosed with vascular dementia. behavior treated with risperidone and depakote (in Chicago hospital) She went from living (with help) in her own apt and walking with walker to being reduced to a wet Kleenex, zoned. 7 mos later she resides in a NH. Refuses meds albeit behavior is better. Cannot walk on her own. Not taking meds has resulted in TSH=78, so hypothyroid now. Agitated by smallest things Aggressive towards staff and me at times. Very hard and heartbreaking to see her thru this. When she was still home and I’d go to dr visits with her, I would let her physician know about depression and changes in her behavior and acute episodes of not recognizing things. Her doc blew me off over and over. I realize the vascular dementia can’t be cured but I thought her doc (a geriatric internist) should treat the depression and order tests to investigate the acute mental changes. Needless to say I was pissed that all my concerns over and over were dismissed. But where we are now with her erratic behavior hypothyroidism and decline I’m praying for strength for both of us as only our faith will bring peace and acceptance. I am an RN and understand connection between vessel disease and brain function. I wish her MD did.

What is Mild Midular Vascular Dementia

treatment with antidepessants like snris showed efficacy in mood and also recovery of stroke symptoms i was surprised that it wasnt mentioned but then again this video was uploaded 7 yrs ago , but now there are effective drugs which can reduce disabilty and improve extent of recovery especially adrenergic agents!!

Problem for social. I lost all my friends due to knowing my condition. I think its best to say nothing . Seems the attitude your better off wearing a leg cast as the stigma for brain issues they cannot comprehend. Everyone loses their keys , wallet , or repeat themselves while drinking and all good in all eyes ,, but if I do the same but mention I have a brain disease I'm off limits.

I’msurthisguyknowswhatheis talking about but thepresentation, isdreful

Eeem!

I found this very unhelpful beyond the notion of mixed Dementia. The slide about making sure the patient has "what he needs,..." I though was ridiculous and addressed in a Clinical matter, when it's not clinical at all. Not criticizing the Dr, just the content. I have mixed dementia at 59, life long cardiac patient with an autoimmune disability. Telling someone to make sure patient is stimulated at home is a silly thought, as if you might have a Jar of Stimulation in the pantry. For me, finding the will to continue and how to plan the right time to Exit are most important things.

Acha sa boloo

I forgot what I was going to say?

😔😔my dad died quickly from this

} vascular dementia

60-70% of dementia patients displaying mood changing symptoms? ‘Happy or sad’? Really? This is low grade information in my opinion :(

Ifhesaysummoncemore, willturnthisoff.

Don't tell Hillary Clingon.

Dr. Chen, I think you have dementia - you aren't thinking clearly, you hem and haw around, you can't even tell us what the subject of your lecture is without looking at your screen
