A common symptom of dementia is when the old person starts screaming the same words over and over and over again....

Example:

“Mandatory.

Mandatory.

Mandatory.”

I sure hope the crazies behind him can keep him stable for another three+ years.

My grandmother went through dementia and sundowners syndrome kicked in a few weeks before the end. It is a death I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Sundowner’s and possibly delirium often seem to get worse:

When we stop daylight savings time and it gets dark earlier and quicker.

So, we are approaching the worse time of the year for these poor people and their family.

My brother was afflicted with this during his final days. It was both heart-breaking and frustrating.

Other folks refer to this as “getting tired”.

I stopped socializing with people who are self-righteous virtue signaling jerks.

Once you are retired it is really easy to do that—and it feels so good!

7. Misplacing things A person with dementia may not be able to remember where they leave everyday objects, such as a remote control, important documents, cash, or their keys.

Or tools when doing a DIY fix up on the house, spoons when cooking, ... Wait a minute - that's ME! ;-P
