Documenting Dementia
“Alzheimer´s disease affects the identity of those who suffer from it, dramatically altering existing social relationships. In a knowledge society like our won that prizes cognitive performance, autonomy, and the apparently limitless possibilities of medicine while demanding that indivudials assume responsibility for their own health, a diagnosis of dementia can be seen as both a personal tragedy and an affront to health care and cultural policy…It also sympolizes collective fears and is to some extend a symptom of our culture.” (Krüger-Fürhoff “Narrating the Limits of Narration: Alzheimer´s Disease in Contemporary Literary Texts.” Popularizing Dementia. Ed. Aagje Swinnen and Mark Schweda. Bielefeld: transcript, 2015)I´ve seen withdrawal on the part of many people, many old friends who just couldn´t handle this disease comfortably, and shied away from contact as much as possible. They are being made very uncomfortable…for they don´t know how to deal with somebody who is not “fully human”. So how do you treat such a person? You try not to see them; you avoid them as much you can; or treat them as if they are not there, as if they are invisible.
Let me give you an example, you are sitting in a room and people talk to each other, but the tiptoe around you. When you look at someone, that person looks away from you, and talks to the next person. People simply stop talking to you in the way they used to. You are in a different category from the normal population. There´s discomfort and you can almost sense the reason is not they´re angry or upset…they are just uncomfortable.”
