How do I behave with DH in denial

sunshine5

DH in early stage Dementia getting angry with me. Hdd we heard me talk to a friend and said he doesn’t have dementia, who said so? U r spreading rumors etc.

I tried explaining to him that his neurologist and scans showed but he denied 

I am not sure how I should behave 

He may get more agitated

You need to know what anosognosia is. Here is a good link to understand it. Why your loved one doesn't believe they have dementia- It's NOT denial.

Thanks Ed 

I had heard about Anosognosia but never understood it. Video explains it well.

It must be very hard for the caregiver to help someone when the loved one doesn’t know or u

Think that there is a problem! How frustrating!

It’s like adding fuel to the fire for the caregiver!

My husband also has anasognosia. I’ve learned how to step into his world in order to communicate, get along, keep the peace, and keep him safe. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a loony bin but my goals have changed. If DH stays calm and happy, I don’t care about telling fiblets or buying into harmless delusions.
