Get support for dementia and Alzheimer's from a hotline in Puerto Rico

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 Puerto Rico from 1 hotlines if you’re struggling with:

• Being easily irritated regardless of knowing it’s nothing you would normally get upset about
• Difficulties concentrating on reading or writing
• Sudden changes in mood, agitation
• Struggling with keeping up with the direction of a conversation
• Difficulties remembering what you knew and memorizing new things
• You might experience hallucinations and delusions
• Getting confused over tasks that you used to perform routinely
• Becoming emotionally numb at times

There is no right way to respond to the symptoms and diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It’s normal if you struggle to find meaning. On the other hand, you may also start to incorporate your new reality into your new identity.

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.
