I would be embarrassed if my father were diagnosed like this

This woman is so selfless in looking after her husband. I hope she has the assistance she so clearly needs. My mother has Parkinson's and LBD but she is 80 this year and now in a care facility. It is tragic that this young man has developed FTD dementia at such a young age and his care has fallen on his wife's shoulders. It is clear she doesn't wish to abandon him in a care home. Awful situation. I hope she and her husband get the support they clearly need.

We really need to increase the funding for research & development for Fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) massively. It is illnesses such as these that really piss me off. We need to go on the OFFENSIVE on this disease.

When it is relatively young dementia it ends up being Fronto-temporal dementia (FTD).. FTD is like being erased from existence.

load of rubbish , because I live in Wales I was told on the phone they could not help . So I cared for my late wife on my own at home until the end. They even told me that Rose could not have attendance allowance though a local charity got it for her. Perhaps if I was English it might have been different. This so called charity is taking your money under false pretences

My heart breaks for you, you are doing amazing job on both never give up.

Your young he needs to go in a home you need to focus on your son. That is such a workload for you.

She is very strong

Having dymensia myself I understand, life goes on though others will get frustrated as well as ourselves asking questions over and over forgetting things from 5 minutes ago. Life does go on try and get the best out of what you have left, try and stay positive 😊❤

I lost my mum 12th April 2024 to dementia. What a cruel and horrible disease. Thing is I get why people say they don’t die but through the stages you do grieve them. You miss the cuddles, the smiles and the I missed you’s. I grieved my mum so many times and now it is forever! I miss her dearly 😢

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! I’m single and choose to be.,, It’s very sad to see our loved ones suffer!❤❤❤

This advert really does sum up the journey of people affected by dementia and their families. It may be hard to watch and you can bury your head in the sand but it is the experience many families have to go through in the final years. My Mum died on 21 May after suffering from dementia for 4 years at the same time as lymphoma. Dementia has far more of an impact on her quality of life, than the lymphoma which has multiple regimens of highly effective treatments. Thats why its so important that we invest in research to make early diagnosis and effective treatments treatments available.

My 64 year old hubby was diagnosed with this damn disease last year. So, we're just starting the downward spiral. Big Love to all sufferers and their carers too x

Having lost both my parents to Dementia I can attest that this can be how it feels watching a loved one decline. But that doesn’t make it the right content for an advertising campaign. I am so glad I never had to watch this ad with my parents. Reading comments here from dementia sufferers breaks my heart. It makes me very sad to think this is what you spend my monthly donation on. This ad was cleared despite complaints because AS are considered the expert on the subject. So in effect you have been allowed to mark your own homework. Please use that power very carefully.

I just want my Mum back...

Thank you for this advert, it shows so clearly what the sufferer and the family go through, again and again and again.

I've never seen this commercial, I'm not even from the UK but I picked up on the traction it got. The fact is, this world is going to shit. We're nurturing this culture that promotes sugarcoating everything, digging your head into the sand and putting so much emphasis on people being offended. We are starting to let personal emotions dictate how entire societies evolve. And it's bad.

Having lost my Mum to Alzheimers, I know the pain was real when she didn't know who I was in the last year of her life anymore it was heartbreaking. Whilst some may find this advert difficult to stomach, I would say the advert is a fair representation of Alzheimers. It is the most awful disease not only for the person with the symptoms but for the loved ones too. ❤️

All these sentimental comments ..and nothing about their nutrition that is the most probable cause..

This is far too close to home for comfort actually hurts my soul living through this

I would try a carnivore diet if this were my husband. Carnivore is not an expensive diet, it's basically ground meat, eggs, chicken, bacon, fish, butter. It is an elimination diet because it is believed that food could be the cause and no one reacts to a carnivore diet. Check out Dr. Ken Berry. You'll find plenty of other doctors who recommend it.

I'm 42 and I'm on a meat based diet to avoid this. Dr Chris Palmer and Dr Georgia Ede are a couple key authors to look up regarding brain health. I hope they try carnivore on this guy. It's worth experimenting.

Oh this is so sad. My dad had this and it is so so difficult. I pray for them. 💔❤️‍🩹

Sweet couple! He is a great husband and caregiver!

Respect. What a remarkable Woman.

Please stop spreading stigmatised views about the disease. Every person has an unique journey! The person is still there. The dementia does not define them!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sometimes there are other cuases then Alzheimer like certain vitamins deficiencies or mold etc but none ever talks about it... There has been info about it but one needs to dig deep

What an amazing woman

I can’t imagine watching your husband so young anybody going though this my grandad has Alzheimer’s and dementia and it’s not easy of the carer that is looking after them it’s heartbreaking

Im surprised a medicine hasnt been found to treat this. So many get it.

Inspirational.

He needs to be put into full time care. Terrible for this woman to be doing so much at this stage. I’m not sure why she is.

And this wonderful lady recieves the grand total of £70.00 a week Carer's Allowance and our wonderful caring Government want to get the disabled off of PIP and then Carer's lose their benefit too. Its a disgrace!

How sad. Very sorry for you.

The saddest thing is that he is only going to get worse and she will have to find long-term care. Hard enough to raise a child alone, especially when your spouse has a terminal illness.

He son young

This commercial was brought to my attention on a caregiver’s support platform where we encourage each other to LIVE LIFE to its fullest with your Dementia Loved One. And we give them tools to help them in this difficult season of life. Many were saying how they hated this commercial. They try to get it turned off before their loved ones see it because if not, they sit there and weep. At the very least- please put a black box warning to give caregivers time to turn the channel. Our loved ones don’t need to have more depression than they do. It would be like a commercial about cancer or heart disease and saying you are dying again and again and again. Our goal is to give them joy again and again and again. Please rethink how you can represent Dementia and how there are still moments of laughter and fun. Even training or educational videos should leave you filled with hope. Not hopelessness. Blessings on this complicated and joyous journey as you walk them Home with dignity. 🙏🏻💗

Now all he's qualified to do is run for President of the United States as a Democrat!!

Bless this incredible woman. Gosh, I hope she gets help. So sad all round.😢

poor woman, her life is ruined....

She looks so exhausted. I feel for her. My spouse has dementia but his condition is not half as severe as what she is dealing with. So tragic,

Bless you mummy ❤ you need a break ❤❤

🙏🙏🙏

So sad..

Dementia sucks.😞

She's clearly not getting enough help. Such a beautiful heart. The toll on caregivers can't be understated. Alzheimer Society and NIH need to do much more to advocate for caregivers too.

So heartbreaking. She will eventually need to get help. He will forget how to walk, how to eat. And I hate to say it but her son needs her more than her husband. She can’t be a caregiver to both. I hope she has a good support network.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

My brother was diagnosed with dementia at 46 its so terrible
