Developing dementia and Alzheimer's? Contact a hotline in Malta 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 1 hotlines in Malta 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.
