Developing dementia and Alzheimer's? Contact a hotline in Slovakia for support

Gradually losing your edge and having to adapt to your new reality could make you feel a range of different emotions. However, many people out there are going through the same thing. You can find free support in Slovakia from 4 hotlines if you’re struggling with:

• Struggling with keeping up with the direction of a conversation
• You might experience hallucinations and delusions
• You become paranoid and feel like everyone is working against you
• Forgetfulness of simple things, like a shopping list, more than usual
• Not caring about what others feel
• Having trouble with coordination and becoming clumsy
• Feeling anxious and fearful for no obvious reason
• Finding yourself repeating questions when you are asked something so that you can focus better

Dementia and Alzheimer’s could make you feel a range of emotions, from fear to disbelief or even peaceful acceptance. It is natural to feel all of that and to be apprehensive about what the future brings at times. It can be confusing to go through it alone.

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.
