There’s no standard dementia - it affects people differently. Some people revert to childhood. Some people withdraw. Some get restless and impatient. Cognitive function declines, but some people retain good memory. You can’t really make generalizations about it, and the experiences other people have dealing with it in loved ones often don’t apply to your own situation.
I recommend those coping with being a caregiver to someone suffering from dementia get in touch with the Alzheimers Society. Their counsellors know their stuff, and give useful guidance and support.
