Many people use the words “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s disease” interchangeably. However, they are not the same thing. A person can have a form of dementia that is completely unrelated to Alzheimer’s disease.

The term Dementia does not refer to a specific disease, instead it describes a group of symptoms which affect memory, thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It includes memory loss, personality change and impaired intellectual functions resulting from disease or trauma to the brain.

Dementia is progressive and can arise from many different causes which will all involve loss of memory, but they have other symptoms which are different depending on the cause.

HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN ANYTHING?

HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN ANYTHING SO SERIOUS THAT IT CAUSED YOU TO WORRY?

ARE YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW PLAGUED BY FORGETFULNESS?

My name is Ann-Noreen Bird, of Global Dementia Care and I am a dementia care expert. Over the last 24 years, I have been a ward nurse, a community nurse, a turnaround specialist Nurse, a practice development nurse, manager, teacher, trainer, educator, nurse advisor and Lead nurse of a Borough, all in the field of mental health of the older persons.

With ageing populations across the globe, the number of people living with dementia is set to rise worldwide, so now is the time to take action!

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAl2AAAAJGFjZmI5ZGE0LWE0MTAtNDhhMi04NmZjLTMwMzExOTg1ODViZQ I teach people to recognize, cope and embrace dementia so they can help those living with the disease to live dignified lives.”

My mission is to inform, educate, empower people globally to recognize and understand dementia so they can appropriately care for those living with the condition.

Despite our developed understanding of dementia, there is still more work to be done. Presently approximately only 10% of people receive a diagnosis of dementia in developing countries, which puts an enormous strain on families and communities to care for those affected.

Through education, discussion and raising awareness I hope my contribution will diminish the stigmas surrounding dementia and enable those in need to be treated and cared for effectively and with the dignity they deserve.

TSM16/16. Journalistic Wonderment with Amy Ellis Nutt

April 11, 2016April 20, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Amy Ellis Nutt aired April 19-25th

Mental Issues, Transgender, Ship wrecks, Science Writer, Fact checker, Amy has done it all.

BECOMING NICOLE: The Transformation of An American Family
by Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Amy Ellis Nutt.

“BECOMING NICOLE is a miracle. It’s the story of a family struggling with—and embracing—a transgender child. But more than, it’s really about accepting each other, and ourselves, in all our messy, contradictory glory. The Maines family is as American as they come. In the journey, they take toward authenticity, and justice, we see a model for the future of our country, a future in which all of us somehow find the courage, and the love, to become our best selves.”

In 2012, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Amy Ellis Nutt began reporting on a family that is ordinary in many ways – middle class, politically conservative, from rural America – with one exception: one of their identical twin sons, at the age of about two, began identifying as a girl. On October 20, 2015, Random House published BECOMING NICOLE: The Transformation of An American Family, a book about gender identity, transgender rights, community, and, above all, a family tested beyond what they could ever imagine. It’s also a book steeped in the history of transgenderism, putting Nicole’s story into a larger cultural and medical context.

When Random House Executive Editor David Ebershoff acquired BECOMING NICOLE in early 2013, little did we know that 2015 would be a watershed year in the trans movement: Laverne Cox has become a superstar; Caitlyn Jenner is telling her story in powerful ways, and newly-minted Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne played an early transgender pioneer in The Danish Girl. BECOMING NICOLE, through its story of one girl and her family, illuminates a complex social and political issue so many Americas are curious about. NOW BEING MADE INTO A T.V PILOT COMING SOON.

“Born in Staten Island, I grew up in central New Jersey as the middle child of five, daughter of Dave and Grace Nutt. I have a beloved brother and sisters and 12 adored nieces and nephews. An aborted career as an academic serendipitously propelled me, albeit late out of the gate, into journalism. Sports Illustrated magazine, and Bambi Bachman Wulf, gave me my start as a fact-checker. A Masters degree in Journalism, earned at Columbia University in one of the J-school’s first part-time classes, helped me realize that as much as I loved sports, I didn’t want to write about them the rest of my life.”

A breast cancer survivor, bio-polar, 80% deaf as a child, all these things gave Amy the tools and understanding she needed to thrive in her field of expertise.

Nearly everything I know about storytelling I learned at The Newark Star-Ledger, where I was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in feature writing in 2009 for “The Accidental Artist,” which eventually became a book, “Shadows Bright as Glass.” In 2011,(Buy Here) I was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in feature writing for my series “The Wreck of the Lady Mary.”

In 2014 I was lucky to land a dream job as a science writer at The Washington Post, where my beat is the “brain.” Currently, I live in Washington, D.C., but I’m still a Yankees fan.

Amy Ellis Nutt is longtime American journalist and author. She won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in feature writing for a narrative investigation into the deaths of six fishermen in the sinking of their scallop boat off the coast of New Jersey. She is the author of three books including two NYT best-sellers published last year, The Teenage Brain, with co-author Dr Frances Jensen, and Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family. She is currently a science writer at The Washington Post and lives in the District of Columbia.

Nutt’s beat at the Post is the brain where she frequently writes about mental health issues including most recently a 3-part series into science’s search for new biologically-based methods of predicting, diagnosing and treating mental illness.

TSM16/13 Demons of War and Religious Confusion + P.T.S.D

March 3, 2016February 11, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matter with Sara Troy and her guest Arthur W. Schade, aired March 29th-April 5th

557017_233178293447474_1391774996_n

The Demons of War and the confusion over Region and the misunderstandings of P.T.S.D. Wars and Religions are not only killing us but damaging those who fight for peace sometimes beyond repair.

Where is the dignity the value of life and if there is a God surely he stands for peace not death.

Arthur: After high school, Schade enlisted in the Marines, and within a few months was engaged in combat in the jungles of Vietnam. After receiving his honourable discharge, he did as many other veterans and worked at a dozen different jobs until he landed a position at a bank repossessing cars. Within five years, he achieved the level of Branch Manager. Still uncertain of the career he desired he was offered a position at IBM as a collection administrator, which he transformed into thirty successful years in executive marketing, business development, and sales – often requiring of global travel.

Nonetheless, at the peak of his career, unable to avoid the twenty-four-hour news coverage of the sounds and visuals of the Gulf Wars, Schade yielded to his decades-old battle with PTSD, and sought medical treatment. He retired early from IBM, but was determined to help others by writing about the two questions that haunted him since Vietnam; how to break the stigma of PTSD, and how a loving God allows the atrocities and barbaric actions of war?

To help veterans break the stigma of PTSD, Schade wrote ‘The demons of war are persistent.” It was posted on PsychologyToday.com by Nobel Prize-winning Journalist Eric Newhouse. Published in “First-Person Accounts of Mental illness and Recovery,” “Journal of Military Experience II and III,” and countless support sites. ‘Not Alone,’ a subset of ‘The demons…’ was also published, and both are free to read and download on his website.

During the time of these writings, Schade spent over three years researching and questioning others regarding their religious and secular beliefs. Did God exist? If so, whose side is He or She on? Or, are atheists correct – ‘dust to dust? Most importantly, in his book, “Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion” Schade sought to answer the question that haunted him most; does Faith + secular theory – empirical proof = bigotry? Or is there another arther answer?

His book is available in all major bookstores in all formats, including audio.

Schade, is retired and living in Florida, has been married to his lovely wife Diane, since 1969. Together, they raised three fine sons, who married terrific daughter-in-laws, and blessed them with four grandchildren; one granddaughter, and three young grandsons.

TSM 16/01 Coming Through the Fog of Autism

December 14, 2015January 7, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 5 Comments

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Tami Goldstein aired from January 5th

A Journey Through Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder to Functioning Recovery and Independent Living

ASD-Umbrella When her youngest child was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, Tami spent the next few years in a tailspin trying to find ways to help her daughter. She watched in amazement as a more holistic, all natural approach did what no western medicine techniques could accomplish. Some of those approaches included various techniques to stimulate the sense of touch.

Tami started by studying Reiki Therapy. Reiki a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. The first part Rei, refers to our spiritual dimension or soul. The second part Ki, means vital life or energy. This ancient natural method of healing touches the body without physically touching the body. (How else do you connect with a child who feels pain when you touch them?)

The benefits this approach provided opened Tami’s eyes to try other techniques. While she worked toward a Master/Teacher level in Reiki, she also sampled Yoga, learned Feng Sui, and began receiving regular massages & CranioSacral treatments, Chiropractic adjustments and Acupuncture.

Based on her own experience with Heather, her daughter, labelled with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder, and her extensive research into effective treatment regimens, Tami Goldstein’s compassionate tale of Heather’s progress to functioning recovery and independent living offers hope and practical advice to other parents of children similarly labelled.
