Dementia affects the awareness of self and how the patient perceives himself with dementia. Then we distinguish three stages through which passes the patient with dementia: the step threatened ego, the ego being lost and being submerged ego ego threatened
phase occurs at the beginning of dementia, when the subject begins to realize that she is gradually losing his memory and the control of ordinary shares, especially if complex. She lives a state of uncertainty, insecurity and danger. He feels that their skills are less and is assailed by a feeling of fear of the future.
phase is characterized by ego lost an increase in the spatial and temporal orientation. But even the self-image is in crisis, the Ego, which was threatened now becomes uncertain. The past and present are confused and the patient becomes unable to learn new information, is often lost. The dementia you realize you have completely lost control of the situation. A direct comparison with its inability can take it to sudden episodes of psychomotor agitation or anger. The demented feel lost and sought refuge in the past and goes in search of their parents. The setting of the parents has to do with the feeling of insecurity and the need for roots.
phase submerged ego and 'the latest stage of a gradual downward path capabilities of older and is the heaviest to be addressed in terms of taking charge. The patient 'in fact unable to walk and carry out any activity in daily life, and' incontinent. Cognitive skills and communication are severely compromised, remains closed in on itself, unable to establish contact with others. The identity and 'completely lost, the insane and not' able to recognize himself.
