Dementia patients eyes do not actually change in color although a persons eyes when they have dementia can look different as a result of specific visual changes that are linked to dementia and other neurological conditions.
Dementia can cause a reduced ability to distinguish colors and can lead to mismatched clothing as well.
Other vision problems that dementia can cause are retinal changes, slower and erratic eye movements, difficulty in processing visual information from both eyes, difficulty in recognizing faces, reduced sensitivity to contrast and difficulty detecting movement.
Dementia can also affect how a persons brain is able to process visual information and neural degeneration can also affect the parts of the persons brain which process eyesight.
Dementia is not often inherited although if someone in your family has had or has dementia then it's possible that you too or someone else in the family could get dementia.
In rare cases, dementia can be caused by genetic mutations that are inherited.
For example a dementia called familial frontotemporal dementia is caused by a single faulty gene which is passed down from a parent to a child and in this case the child has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the gene and then developing dementia later in life.
However the majority of dementia cases are not inherited by grandchildren and children or parents to child.
The stage of dementia that is anger is the middle stage although anger in dementia can also occur at any stage during dementia.
Anger in dementia patients is often a reaction to frustration and confusion that is experienced in the later stages of dementia.
However there really is no specific angry stage of dementia but the anger often occurs in the middle to late stages of dementia.
The seven stages of dementia are.
Stage 1 dementia with no cognitive decline.
Stage 2 dementia with very mild cognitive decline.
Stage 3 dementia with mild cognitive decline.
Stage 4 dementia with moderate cognitive decline.
Stage 5 dementia with moderately severe cognitive decline.
Stage 6 dementia with severe cognitive decline.
Stage 7 dementia with very severe cognitive decline.
In dementia the stages of dementia are not always linear and some people may experience different paths as they go through them.
Some people with dementia experience periods of decline that is followed by periods of stability.
The symptoms of dementia and patterns of progression of the dementia, also vary depending on the type of dementia that the person has.
The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's.
A person with dementia will often need to be put into a care home when they are no longer able to do daily tasks, like eating, without the support of another person.
Or if the person with dementia is no longer safe at home like they start fires or they keep having falls.
Dementia is a condition which causes a decline in a persons mental abilities like remembering, reasoning and thinking which interferes with daily life.
Dementia is caused by the death of the nerve cells in the brain and is more common as you age.
Dementia though is not actually a normal part of aging and many people live well into their 90s and above without getting dementia.
The most common types of behavioral triggers in dementia patients are confusion, pain or discomfort, and a changing or overwhelming environment.
