Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

This video explains how what is likely happening with your loved one is that they are not actually “lying,” but they are confabulating. It’s a common symptom in dementia and it means that your loved one isn’t purposefully telling you lies, they are actually telling you what their mind believes. This is why no matter how much you try to correct your loved one, they still feel they are right. I hope that you will find this video helpful.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
