Disorientation is common to people living with symptoms of dementia.
Initially it can be subtle, like your wife forgetting where she put her purse (even though she never used to forget before).
But it can also show-up as someone misremembering the city she’s in, confusing your son with you, dressing for summer in the dead of winter, or even losing her sense of self.
Because it’s such a broad topic, this page is the home of the many future posts about disorientation.
