This subreddit is dedicated to information and support for people dealing with dementia.


Dementia is an abnormal, serious loss of cognitive ability, often seen in older people as a result of degenerative disease. It can also be the result of CTE or head trauma, getting blown up by an IED, drug abuse, and other causes.


Some of the most common forms of dementia are: Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, semantic dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies.

I need some advice my mom has been in and out of hospitals. She’s losing a lot of weight and she’s not wanting to eat and they’re telling me that she is at the last stages of dementia and there’s nothing really that they can do to reverse it or slow it down should we tell her?
