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