Unit 40- Dementia Care
P1: Describe the types of dementia and common signs and symptoms.
In this part of the assignment I will be talking about what is dementia, confused state and
depression is and saying who they are all different from each other. Also I will be talking about
five types of dementia and discuss the signs and symptoms for each one whilst providing
examples is well.
Dementia:
‘There are 850,000 people with dementia in the UK, with numbers set to rise to over 1 million
by 2025’ (Alzheimers-support.com, 2017). Dementia is a common condition. The risk of
developing dementia it increases as you get older and the condition usually occurs in people
over the ages of 65. ‘Dementia is a syndrome (a group of related symptoms) associated with
an ongoing decline of the brain and its abilities’ (Nhs.uk, 2016). Individuals who have
dementia can become lazy in their usual activities and they will have problems controlling their
emotions. They might also find social situations challenging as they will lose interest in
socialising. Someone with dementia, some of these brain cells become damaged and die.
Dementia is when the individual is struggling to remember certain things and they will also
struggle to adapt to physical and sensory changes. People who have dementia should be
treated with respect and dignity. ‘In the community, the contribution of people with dementia
should be valued’ (PINNER, 2016). Individuals who are suffering from Dementia have a high
chance of their memory getting affected.
Confused State:
Confused state means not being able to think clearly or quickly, struggling to pay attention,
make decisions or even remembering things. Confused state “being unable to think with clarity
or act with understanding and intelligence” (www.free dictionary.com). Another term which
is used to say confused state is delirium. Delirium is a state of mental confusion that could
occur as a result of illness, surgery or with the use of some medications. ‘Delirium is fairly
common among hospitalized patients, with around 1 in 10 having a period of delirium’
(Robertson, 2017). Delirium is more common for the elderly, for those with memory problems,
in cases of dementia, after surgery, after brain injury and those with poor hearing or vision.
Depression:
‘Depression is a mood disorder characterised by low mood and a wide range of other possible
symptoms, which will vary from person to person’ (Depressionuk.org, 2017). This type of
illness can develop very quickly and it can happen to anyone at any point of their lives.
Depression is a serious condition and it is a very common condition is well. Most people go
through periods of feeling down, but when you're depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks
or months, rather than just a few days. Once an individual is suffering from depression they will
