Will long term care for an elderly person with dementia be depressing?

My grandmother is over 80 years old and has Alzheimer's, and my mother takes the bus for an hour every day to take care of her for a day, and then takes the bus back. My grandmother chattered every day, sometimes she would shout loudly, just like crazy, when my mother fed her, her hand was seriously scratched twice, miserable, and when she helped my grandmother take a bath, her head was smashed once. My mother is also 56 years old, and when I go to take care of it every day, I take the iPad to watch TV series, and every time it is my turn for three months, I am almost isolated from the world for these three months, and I go back and forth every day.

Recently, my mother is also in a bad state, with poor memory, poor sense of direction, poor language expression, and poor logic! I'm really heartbroken!! My mom went out to dinner with me today, and asked me before and after if I didn't lose my phone, and asked three times, I really think it was caused by taking care of my grandmother!

Although my grandmother may not be taken care of in this way, and she may not live long, there is no way, and I can't let my mother become a victim.

Yes, the caregiver is physically and mentally exhausted for a long time, and finally he is tortured into depression.

Pay attention to your body, a bad mood can also lead to physical illness. My parents were in a bad mood because of lack of sleep to take care of my grandmother, and they had hyperthyroidism and high blood pressure. But there is no way, the old man's fate is doomed.

Only take care of yourself, I don't know how your old man is doing, take her out for a walk, and you can also relax.

You can eat three meals a day, feed on time, take a bath once a week, have regular bowel movements, and keep your body clean. The person who takes care of it is too tired, you can send it to a nursing home for a period of time, recuperate, relax, have the energy to take care of it, don't feel that the elderly are pitiful, in fact, it is good to take care of these

No nanny can endure this disease, remembering the newcomer in the family, not being able to find the way home after going out, always forgetting to turn off the gas when cooking, and saying that she is hungry when she has just eaten, this is the daily life of an Alzheimer's patient. To be honest, this kind of disease tortures the body and mind of the family, and the girlfriends I talk about often break up after being in contact with me for a while, because no one can accept this disease of my mother! ”

It's hard to put into words! Sad! If you need to be accompanied 24 hours a day and your family has a job, it is necessary to ask a nurse, and then you will eat, wear, and live, and eat more, this course of the disease will not be too long, and there will be many complications in the later stage. So make their lives as comfortable as possible!

Yes, you have to be able to regulate yourself, or you are likely to fall into a state of depression.

Yes, sometimes I feel like I'm going to collapse.

My mother suffered from sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, epilepsy, cerebral infarction and dementia. I also broke my waist, and I needed to be taken care of 24 hours a day when I ate and drank Lazar. I have resigned and taken care of myself at home for two years, but fortunately, my mother has a better temper and does not beat and scold people, but she tosses day and night regardless of time, and does not take medicine.

Three meals a day had to be crushed and forcibly poured down. Listen to **, read a book, and swipe your phone at home every day to turn your attention. Put her in a pension apartment for half a year, go out on vacation by yourself, and mediate your mentality.

Or 24 hours of inseparable, endure the unreasonable toss. Then I'm going to be depressed too!

My grandfather has Alzheimer's disease all year round, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When a guest comes to the house, he asks, has the old man eaten, normally he will say that he has eaten, and when he is demented, he will say that he has not eaten, and he has not eaten for a day! There is no shortage of people around the elderly with Alzheimer's, and if they are really lost, it will be very difficult to find them.

Yes, my mom took care of my grandma for five years, and she took antidepressants every day.

Can you not be depressed? The people who take care of the sick are tormented in the oil pan every day, and they are not understood by the other brothers and sisters.

Dad's sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage dementia, no one knows him, destructive, jumping up and down, resigning from his job to serve at home 24 hours a day, going crazy.

I felt depressed, alas, with a sigh, and my habits changed.

My sisters and I took turns to take care of our 84-year-old mother, and we didn't feel so tired. What if we have a child when we are old?

I just calmed my dad, I'm so tired, I'm afraid I'm going crazy.

It is very difficult to serve an elderly person for a long time. Especially those who are old and incapacitated. When taking care of them, it often causes misunderstandings among them.

Probably they were also unintentional, they had lost consciousness. So it's very, very difficult to care for them. In the life of a person, the mountains are high and the sea is vast, the end of the world is far away, and we are always easy to lose ourselves and make wrong choices.

But no matter how much we make mistakes, as long as we have the courage to take responsibility and correct them, it will not be too bad. Buddhism has clouds and bitter seas, and the back is the shore. No matter how much we go wrong, as long as we are willing to turn back, there will always be a better way out.

People are not saints and sages, and making mistakes is an essential part of life. Life needs to make mistakes, because only when there are mistakes can we have self-confidence and self-awareness, so that we can better grasp and treat life well. Don't go away because of a momentary mistake and deny yourself, and don't go because of a momentary mistake and deny the life of others.

People live a lifetime, and they can't be changed because of a mistake. Don't be easily discouraged and compromised. Today is a holiday, all mistakes are an essential part of life, but also for that more wonderful tomorrow.

Life is always good and bad, half right and wrong, and intersecting. There is no need to be upset if you have done something wrong, and there is no need to panic if you have taken the wrong path. There will always be ups and downs in the long journey of life, and there will always be regrets about mistakes.

We should be glad because on the way forward, every mistake is another growth in life. And we can only find our own correct direction through continuous mistakes and explorations.

It is indeed difficult to take care of an elderly person for a long time, because it will be hard work and very uncomfortable, but we should try to give everything we have!

1. Try to keep the elderly in a peaceful and optimistic state of mind. No matter what kind of disease the elderly suffers from, they must face up to the reality and build confidence. All negative emotions such as anxiety and nervousness of patients and their families will not only not help, but will make things worse.

Therefore, patients and families should come out of the shadows as soon as possible. If possible, children introduce some news to the elderly every day, or chat and laugh to eliminate the patient's impatience and trouble, which is extremely beneficial to promote the patient**.

4.Create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

The emotions and behaviour of Alzheimer's patients are often influenced by the environment. Creating a warm, relaxed, and pleasant atmosphere can make them more relaxed and happy. You can choose some senior-friendly **, movies, games, etc., to enrich their lives.

My mother is 91 years old. He has been suffering from geriatric illness for seven years. Every day is to turn over and over, today I lost this, I lost that, I called ** to us, this one was stolen, that one was stolen, and I tried every way to send it to him, at first we didn't know what was going on, when she said to take her things, she was very angry, and she cried angrily again and again, <>

Alas, as long as you say that you haven't taken it or seen it, she will be angry and scold, that helpless, self-evident. What's even more speechless is that my mother can't see, and she doesn't know her own clothes, relying on her own feelings and imagination to know clothes, a piece of clothing will become thinner when it's hot, and thicker when it's cold, otherwise you'll find trouble, how hard it is to scold people and curse people, how she comes, for fear that she won't be angry, and even run to the street to shout and scold the street. Our sisters didn't keep their voices, let her scold enough, but it still didn't work, and I was still crying aggrievedly, I was really helpless.

When I write this question today, I just want the old mother to spend her old age happily, which one has a good attention to come out and support it. I am very grateful.
