one thing i always loved about fnl compared to other teen dramas is how the absence of parents is realistically deeply tragic and has a profound traumatic effect on characters and isnt just a matter of convenience for teens to run around town unsupervised

One of the most horrifying things I've ever had to deal with while working in a care home, especially with residents suffering from some form of dementia, is when you walk into their room and they're at another point in time. They're sobbing, begging you to tell them where their mother is. They're pleading, crying the hardest you've ever seen them, and even after almost three years of being in this profession I still struggle to react appropriately. What are you supposed to say? There's no script for something like this and it breaks my heart every time. In truth, there's nothing you can say to help make it better.

I always spend some time by their bedside comforting them and offering some form of distraction. It doesn't always work, but I try to. I can't say or do anything to relieve their experiences, whatever they may be, and I definitely can't tell them where their mother is, but I can offer company. I try not to leave until they've cracked a smile or given an indication they're feeling better, no matter how busy I am. I don't always manage to cheer them up, but the majority of them thank me for my time.

After the long lives these people have led, five minutes of my busy day is the least I can give them.

And when that time is up, I go back on the floor and carry on. I have a job to do and I do it. If I need space to cry, I take it. If I feel sad, I let myself feel it. And when I clock out, I leave all my work related emotions at the front door. It's the only way to deal with it.

I don't think I posted it here, but I will be slower in general for a couple weeks. I have been attempting to pick at stuff and things but stress is a killer for creativity, hoping to be more present again when I have an update on a family health matter.

Hey how are you?

Thank you for asking this a while back. I was not doing very well, and honestly, I'm still really struggling with a number of things.

I won't go into huge detail, but the biggest thing right now is that my stepfather had to go into dementia care suddenly, and it was super upsetting for me and my mum as well as for him. He's like a father to me -- he raised me and I love him as much as if we were related, so it's been hugely traumatic to watch such a rapid decline in his mental and physical capacity, and we were recently told by a family member who has worked with the elderly and dementia patients all his professional life that after visiting him, he reckons my dad only has about 3 months left to live. We don't know if that's the case, but it was a huge shock to hear all the same. I'm trying to support my mum where I can, while not living that nearby, and visiting my dad is really upsetting, but I have to put that aside when I'm there because I'm there for him.

Anyway, thanks for checking in when I went silent - it meant more to me than you'll know.

To raise awareness about Dementia, people must hear and read about it and understand what is being communicated. This is important for everyone, but the taboo surrounding mental health issues and dementia has been a significant barrier in preventing many people from accessing information about dementia.

Given the rising number of dementia cases, it is necessary to raise awareness and normalize the help required to manage dementia. There has been considerable variation in what is considered dementia to be and their understanding of symptoms and possible causes of dementia.

For decades, nursing homes have been using drugs to control dementia patients. For nearly as long, there have been calls for reform.

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed a law banning the use of drugs that serve the interest of the nursing home or its staff, not the patient.

But the practice persisted. In the early 2000s, studies found that antipsychotic drugs like Seroquel, Zyprexa and Abilify made older people drowsy and more likely to fall. The drugs were also linked to heart problems in people with dementia. More than a dozen clinical trials concluded that the drugs nearly doubled the risk of death for older dementia patients.

In 2005, the Food and Drug Administration required manufacturers to put a label on the drugs warning that they increased the risk of death for patients with dementia.

Seven years later, with antipsychotics still widely used, nursing homes were required to report to Medicare how many residents were getting the drugs. That data is posted online and becomes part of a facility’s “quality of resident care” score, one of three major categories that contribute to a home’s star rating.

The only catch: Antipsychotic prescriptions for residents with any of three uncommon conditions — schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome and Huntington’s disease — would not be included in a facility’s public tally. The theory was that since the drugs were approved to treat patients with those conditions, nursing homes shouldn’t be penalized.

The loophole was opened. Since 2012, the share of residents classified as having schizophrenia has gone up to 11 percent from less than 7 percent, records show.

The diagnoses rose even as nursing homes reported a decline in behaviors associated with the disorder. The number of residents experiencing delusions, for example, fell to 4 percent from 6 percent.
