| | Frequently asked questions about senile dementia |
| | The medicine does not cure the disease: for the time being, senile dementia is an irreversible process. | | | There are several forms of senile dementia, the most familiar of which is Alzheimer's, which is responsible for about 60% of all forms of senile dementia. | | | Since senile dementia often involves disorientation of place, be careful with changes in surroundings. |

| | That is, the disorganization of psychological processes in dementia does not really affect one's relationship with God for this relationship extends through channels that transcend the experience of the body. | | | Throughout the stages of dementia, patients should be assured that they remain one with the whole body of Jesus Christ. | | | As behavioral control is surrendered to caretakers, patients may evidence paranoid suspicions about assaults on their person-suspicions that can result in psychotic-like delusions and hallucinations. |
