Dementia

VS18-08 Songs and Stories for Veterans with Dan Perkins.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Our Global Veterans Stories with Sara Troy and her guest Dan Perkins, on air from February 20th

How is it possible that this author writes children’s books and has a foundation for Soldiers. Also is the author of a 4 book series on Radical Islamic terrorism against the United States. The latest book called Ted Baker in Terrorist Gold just started marketing today on Facebook and has not finished the first full day and has over 72,000 Ad views and over 1,000 books sold?

Dan Perkins is most certainly one of those people who goes into action when he sees a need. For his show on Dementia with his number one best selling book Why Can’t Grammy Remember Me? he addresses the need for understanding what to say to our children about what Dementia is.

While being an author is first and foremost, he still continues his 43-year career in money management with a small number of clients. In addition, as a veteran himself, he has a passion for helping veterans return to a normal life. Seeing the struggles of PTSD, sleep deprivation, and suicide that face veterans, he and wife Gerri, have set up a non-profit foundation, Songs and Stories for Soldiers. This amazing foundation distributes MP3 packages free to veterans and injured active duty men and women in hospitals who are trying to return to normal life. The web site songsandstoriesforsoldiers.us allows veterans to download from over 3 million songs, over 100,000 audio books, 30,000 old time radio shows and 4 additional 8-hour sleep audios, all for free.

Songs and Stories for Soldiers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to providing free, customizable electronic entertainment for members of the American Military, both active and retired. We will be providing MP3 players, with headsets and USB connection cable or the most recent technology, free to American Military. We will start with active duty wounded, and as their needs are met we will branch out to Veterans and VA hospitals across the United States.

Helping those with P.T.S.D.

PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event.

It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it. This “fight-or-flight” response is a typical reaction meant to protect a person from harm. Nearly everyone will experience a range of reactions after trauma, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with PTSD. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they are not in danger.

Helping Veterans sleep.

When you have lived in trauma and are in pain, sleep avoids you, Dan’s organization has wonderful music programs that help Veterans sleep.

Author and master storyteller Dan Perkins presents the first book in his trilogy about terrorism against the United States. The first in the series, The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, A Terrorist Perspective, has propelled him to national acclaim with interviews on radio, television and in print. With the second instalment, The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, America Rebuilds, we get a closer look into the mind of an ingenious writer. Picking up where book one ends, book two delivers more intrigue and mystery while striking terror in the hearts of readers as we ask the question: How in the world can we stop this from happening?

C18-06 WHY CAN’T GRAMMY REMEMBER ME? BY DAN PERKINS

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dan Perkins, on air from February 6th.

“This is a breakthrough book written on an important subject to children, parents, and grandparents. The subject is Dementia, or what is commonly referred to as memory loss. To the best of my knowledge, no other book on this subject has been written specifically for children ages 9 to 12. However, Hudson’s and Charlotte’s endearing adventure is for all readers; children, parents and grandparents. Your children will relate to the adventures of these two young girls, and as they learn about memory loss, so too will you and your children.

As people live longer, the population winding up with Dementia is rapidly growing. Parents find themselves ill-equipped to talk to their children about this subject. They themselves know little, and without basic mental health knowledge, parents are unable to discuss this issue with their children.

If you have a parent that is fine today, they could start the long, slow, goodbye tomorrow. I believe this book is a must-read for all ages, and parents, in particular, should read it and discuss it with their children. Because this is such an important issue, I am going to donate 10% of my royalties to the Alzheimer Foundation….”

TSM16/17 Are Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia one and the same?

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Ann Bird aired from April 26th

Statistic 1 in 20 over 65 affected by dementia over 80 1 in 5 affected 

people-living-with-dementia-globally

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!

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAl2AAAAJGFjZmI5ZGE0LWE0MTAtNDhhMi04NmZjLTMwMzExOTg1ODViZQI 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.

Are Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia one and the same? by Ann Bird.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

what-is-dementia

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.
There are over 100 different types of dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease, being the most common form. Although it is more common in people over age 65, it is not a normal part of the ageing process as younger people are also affected by it.
While, memory loss generally occurs in dementia, memory loss alone doesn’t mean you have dementia. Unfortunately, there is a certain extent of memory loss that is a normal part of ageing.
The most common causes of dementia include:
• Neurological diseases, Alzheimer’s disease falls under this category.
• Disorders that affect the blood circulation in the brain such as:
A major stroke or severe concussion
• Infections of the Central Nervous System such as:  Meningitis
• Long term alcohol or drug use
• Certain types of hydrocephalus, characterised by a build-up of fluid in the brain.
• There are also some reversible types of dementia such as those caused by drug interactions or vitamin deficiencies.

Alzheimer’s disease is a very specific form of dementia, with symptoms including impaired thought, impaired speech, and confusion.

On the other hand, Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disease, caused by a dysfunction in one or several areas of the nervous system. During the course of Alzheimer’s disease, proteins build up in the brain to form structures called ‘plaques’ and ‘tangles’, which lead to the loss of connections between nerve cells, and eventually to the death of the cells in the brain. There is also a shortage of important chemicals which help to transmit signals around the brain. When there is a shortage of this chemical, the signals are not transmitted as effectively.

Dementia-vs-Alzheimers-Chart_fullsize
When a person is diagnosed with dementia, they are being diagnosed with a set of symptoms. This is similar to someone having a fever. Their temperature is elevated but the cause is unknown. It could be allergies, sore throat, or the common cold. Similarly, when someone has dementia they are experiencing symptoms without being told what is causing those symptoms.
Another major difference between the two is that Alzheimer’s is not a reversible disease. It is degenerative and incurable at this time, while some forms of dementia, such as a drug interaction or a vitamin deficiency, are actually reversible or temporary.
