Why is dementia often undiagnosed in the elderly?

Dementia frequently goes undiagnosed in the elderly. Sherri Tucker-Neff, a former assisted living activity director, agreed that most sons and daughters don't have the time or the means to take care of their loved in their own homes. She also noted that sometimes they don't even realize when it is time to reach out for help.

"If the kids are not with them a lot, dementia can be covered up and they can not see through it. We see it. You can have a perfectly normal conversation and think everything is all right.

The kids will call and ask, 'What did you have for dinner, Mom? How is this or that?' They can answer every question for you and then five minutes later they would not have a clue. When that happens, you run into the incidents of leaving the stove on, forgetting where the keys are and stuff like that.

And if you are not around, you wouldn't necessarily catch it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
