If you are a monk, please tell me what advice would you give in this case
We often give advice to patients and families in daily medical treatment (internal medicine), so we will consult with you.
There is no problem when you give advice as it is, and then immediately accept, understand, and implement it, but it is very difficult to give advice to people who don't want to accept their own convenience or advice.
For those with the onset of dementia, medication alone is less effective, and in most cases, it is easier to recover cognitive function by building solid relationships with family members.
Specifically, in the case of those who preceded their spouse, relationships become tenuous, and by not engaging in daily life such as conversations with people around them or shopping, it becomes difficult to make mistakes on the day of the week or date, and calculate change of money. Bedridden hospitalized patients will also be like that, so recovery can be expected through rehabilitation. In fact, my patients recovered in 2 weeks when I talked and checked every day. However, even if I tell my family about it, they won't listen to their advice because they try to rely only on medicine, probably because it's difficult to deal with them every day.
If straight advice like me is impossible, I would like you to tell me how someone with a lot of life experience, like a monk, would do it.
We look forward to working with you.
