Developing dementia and Alzheimer's? Contact a hotline in Luxembourg for support
Noticing a decline in your abilities and a change in who you are as a person can be scary. Reach out to any of 3 hotlines in Luxembourg that support with dementia and Alzheimer's if you’re experiencing the following symptoms:
Forgetfulness of simple things, like a shopping list, more than usual
Not caring about what others feel
Confusion about time, mixing past with present events
You might experience hallucinations and delusions
Feeling depressed and pessimistic for no obvious reason
Finding it difficult to speak and focus on what you’re saying
Using strange words to name otherwise very familiar objects
Wandering or getting lost in neighborhoods you know well
There is no right way to respond to the symptoms and diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It’s normal if you struggle to find meaning. On the other hand, you may also start to incorporate your new reality into your new identity.
You might feel the need to maintain your self-sufficiency as long as possible. Reaching out to volunteers from a helpline that supports with dementia and Alzheimer’s can help you cope with the diagnosis in a healthy and productive way.
