Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

The dementia thing's not impossible. My Dad is very intelligent, so he realised he was losing function. He even put some of his own compensating methods in place, such as constantly repeating to himself what he was meant to be doing. And I had a temporary taste of dodgy memory after I had neurosurgery years ago, and guaranteed I was aware that my memory was malfunctioning.
Often people with dementia are unaware of their own decline. But not always.
