What's the difference between normal forgetfulness and Alzheimer's?

We've all had those moments where we can't find our keys or forget the name of an old movie star. That's normal, like a minor glitch in your brain's filing system. With Alzheimer's, it's a different story. It’s more like the entire filing cabinet is gone. It affects more than just memory; it can impact your judgment, reasoning, and ability to handle daily tasks. If you're wondering if what you're seeing is more than just a momentary brain blip, we can help you find clarity and a path forward.

How can counseling help someone with Alzheimer's and their family?

Receiving an Alzheimer's diagnosis is like getting a map for a journey you never planned to take. Counseling is there to help you navigate this new, unexpected terrain. For the person with Alzheimer's, it's about finding ways to manage their emotions and fears. For family and caregivers, it's about learning new coping skills, managing stress, and creating a supportive network. We understand the immense weight you're carrying, and we'll work together to lighten the load and make this journey as manageable as possible.

What are some practical coping strategies for caregivers?

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can feel like trying to solve a puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape. It's a tough job, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. Counseling provides practical strategies to help you handle the daily challenges. This might include learning techniques to manage your loved one's behavior, finding ways to communicate effectively, and prioritizing self-care so you don't burn out. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. We're here to help you replenish your energy and stay resilient.

Will counseling help my family understand the diagnosis?

A diagnosis like Alzheimer's can sometimes feel like a storm cloud settling over the family, with everyone feeling confused or unsure of how to help. Counseling acts as a powerful umbrella, providing a safe space for everyone to process their feelings and ask difficult questions. It helps the whole family unit understand the disease, communicate more openly, and work together as a team. You are all in this together, and with the right support, you can face this challenge united.
