What is everyone's impression of Alzheimer's disease?
Is it the kind of confusion that asks three questions and doesn't know, or the kind of life that seems to have been taken away from the soul, like the walking dead?
But in fact, there are many manifestations of Alzheimer's disease, and some of them will even surprise you!
Banned for 6 years, this national grandmother is back!
Recently, Luo Wenji brought her new work "Oh, Wenji! " on the Chinese theater line, which is also after 6 years, Korean films have once again appeared on the Chinese big screen.
Luo Wenji, who is it?
Even if you haven't seen her film and television dramas, you must have seen her memes, after all, she is the first person to enjoy the happiness of lying flat in contemporary times, and she has become the ideal life of young people.
And this time, Luo Wenji plays an elderly dementia patient---- Wu Wenji.
Unlike other Alzheimer's diseases, Wu Wenji is like a walking meme.
When confused, call his granddaughter "sister", take a pusher to shave half of the little girl's hair half long and half short;
And from time to time to make a fuss about suicide, so that the family has been blind, the granddaughter also let the grandmother commit suicide and remember to go home to eat.
When she was sober, Wu Wenji was guilty and self-blamed, always regretting that she had done something wrong and confused.
But until once, Wu Wenji made a mistake---- when she took her granddaughter out to buy wine at night, her granddaughter unfortunately had an accident, was hit by a car covered in blood, unconscious, but the driver hit and ran.
But the problem was that the crime scene was too dark at that time, the on-site surveillance could not capture any important information, and the only witness was Alzheimer's disease, how to find the driver who caused the accident?
Looking at the daughter in the ward, the son became more and more annoyed, and the mother Wen Ji suddenly remembered some clues, so the son decided to work with his mother to find the perpetrator himself.
Even though I don't remember you, I still remember my love for you
The plot of the movie is a bit cheesy, but what makes people impressed is that it is precisely the convincing acting skills of this national grandmother that can portray a woman with Alzheimer's disease so vividly and interestingly.
In Chinese and foreign movies, it is not uncommon for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease to suffer.
For example, the father in "The Father Trapped in Time", he looks for a watch again and again, in fact, he is looking for more time, looking for his mother.
For example, the grandmother in "All About My Mother" is like a child who has degenerated back to three years old, and the persimmons lying on the soft stomach are like mud, messing around the wall and people's faces.
These patients all have a similar characteristic---
Sometimes sober, sometimes confused, sometimes seeing through life, sometimes fooling around like a child.
What are the symptoms of the pre-dementia stage of Alzheimer's disease?
1. Mild memory impairment
Alzheimer's disease is a disease that continues to progress, and in the early stages of the disease, patients enter the pre-dementia stage. At this time, the patient does not have a very obvious discomfort, but will show symptoms of mild memory impairment.
Patients often forget small things, such as something they are about to do. Or some commonly used items often can't remember where to put them. But for some of the more important things, there will be no forgetting.
Second, the ability to learn has declined
In the pre-dementia stage, the patient's learning ability begins to decline, and for some knowledge that was once relatively easy to accept, the receptivity will become weaker at this time, and the ability to preserve some new knowledge will also decline.
For example, some of the knowledge just learned will be quickly forgotten in a short period of time. It takes others to remind you repeatedly to be able to barely remember. But this knowledge will be forgotten after a period of time.
Third, the visual space ability is reduced
In the pre-dementia phase, patients have difficulty orienting their geographic location. For example, when going out, it is not possible to make accurate orientation to the place where you are located.
In addition, the patient's visual positioning will be inaccurate. For example, when reaching for an object, there will be a situation where the reach is not enough or the position is too biased, and the object cannot be taken correctly.
It is also impossible to distinguish the position relationship of the object in space, such as the inability to determine which of the two objects is closer to it, or the size of two objects when facing two objects with the same shape.
And a classic line in the movie ----
Yes, perhaps as people get older, they have begun to fail to keep up with the times, and even publish some outdated "fallacies".
Yes, maybe when people get older, they have lost their eyesight and hearing, and they will be naughty like a child.
They are old people, and there will always be a day when they become our "trouble".
But their love for you has never changed,
Very few people will love you unconditionally from birth until death.
So, be more patient, just as they did to you as a child.
