They're Seeing Things That Aren't There?! What's Really Going On

from Dementia Careblazers · host Natali Edmonds

People with dementia sometimes see people and things that aren't there… even people who've passed away! But what does it really mean when someone with dementia starts having visual hallucinations? In this episode, I'm sharing the surprising truth about hallucinations — one of the most confusing and misunderstood symptoms in dementia care. Some are harmless. Others? A warning sign.  Whether your loved one has ever said "There's someone in the room…" …or you've heard stories that seem impossible — you'll want to listen to this.  If you'd like to see this episode on video, you can hop on over to my YouTube channel here. 🧠 Want weekly tips on dementia behaviors, caregiver stress, and breakthrough brain research?

ReThink It: The Brain Health and Longevity Podcast Sande Bargeron A podcast series that is dedicated to bringing hope for lasting healing for those struggling with a brain on fire.

Is it because of undiagnosed stealth infections, toxic burdens or something else?In this podcast, we explore the science of health habits that will change the direction of your brain health forever. You will be challenged, like I was, to RETHINK what it means to be healthy. This podcast is hosted by Sande Bargeron, PhD, who, after years in the medical field, was forced to re-examine foundational health and the meaning of healing. After dealing with personal autoimmune issues, losing a family member to dementia, struggling with kids who had ADHD and a child with chronic neurological Lyme Disease, she learned that protecting the brain was a highly overlooked aspect of human health.
