Sample text

On assessment it became apparent that both brothers had AD, of mild severity in the older and moderate severity in the younger. In addition, both appeared miserable and the carers (a sister who visited often and the children of the older brother) reported that both brothers spent much of the day slumped in chairs facing each other. The younger brother was unable to describe his mood but was losing weight, had no energy, and looked miserable. He often said he wished he was dead. The older brother described feeling miserable and was seen crying frequently.

Sleep disturbance Surveys of patients with AD in a hospital setting and in the community have emphasised the degree of disturbance of sleep accompanying dementia. Rates vary from 67% of patients with some sleep disturbance (Cacabelos et al, 1996) to 20% or less (Cooper et al, 1990). One long-term study of nursing-staff observations over 12–18 months found that 24% of nights of AD patients in hospital were disturbed (Bliwise et al, 1995). Although sleep is disturbed early in the disease process, most of the initial changes are exaggerated responses normally seen in ageing.
