Reality for a person without Alzheimer’s disease is the here and now – what is affecting our lives in the present. For one with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it may be rooted in the past or even distant past, because those are the only memories the person can retrieve. As stated in Dr. Daniel C. Potts and Ellen Woodward Potts’ book, A Pocket Guide for the Alzheimer’s Caregiver, “people with AD lose their ability to remember first the recent past, and then the past in general.” When an individual asks a question repeatedly, it is because they do not remember the answer that you just gave to them. “Arguing and Correction” is one of the early chapters of part two of the book, which gives practical advice on how to deal with some of the many personality changes that a loved one will go through with AD.
