Ask Dr. Robert Butler
Different Kinds of Dementia?
If your mother-in-law has hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease, it is important that these be properly diagnosed and treated, as all can contribute to vascular forms of dementia and possibly Alzheimer’s disease as well. And if your mother-in-law does have one of the dementias, you need, unfortunately, to be thinking about the future. Are there other family members that could help with caregiving responsibilities so that there would be adequate respite for all? Planning ahead and getting the right support structure in place can be invaluable for minimizing distress not only for your mother-in-law but the entire family as well.
