[Dementia/Cognitive Impairment/Mom/Motherly Love]People tend to lose track of things in middle age. A female college student in Hong Kong recently felt that her mother was getting older and her behavior began to become strange, and she became very concerned about the victim. This sudden maternal love, on the one hand, made the female victim feel abrupt, and on the other hand, it also caused her to be concerned about her mother’s health.

sudden maternal love
Before her birthday (12th), this female university student from Hong Kong posted a message in the online discussion forum “Dcard” as “I feel like my grandma has been acting strange lately“I posted a post with the title, referring to my mother’s recent abnormal behavior. The female victim lives with her parents and sister. She said that when she went out with her mother recently, she noticed that her mother would pay special attention to her daughter’s safety while waiting to cross the street. “Tell me to be careful and stop me at every intersection.” It was like “Mother hen takes her chicks across the road.” In addition, the female victim found that her mother was very interested in her interpersonal relationships and college life, and would repeatedly ask:
She would keep asking me if I had met any friends, if anyone would accompany me to dinner, if I had a lot of homework in college, when would I go to exchange… and most of the questions had been asked many times.
The female victim felt that her mother had become strange and wondered if the mother was afraid of being embarrassed when she was alone with her daughter, so she kept looking for topics to talk about. The female victim said that although she usually communicates more with her sister and is not particularly close to her mother, she does not feel embarrassed even if the family is silent and living in the same space. On the contrary, when my mother suddenly became very interested in her own life, her communication method of “exclusively talking about these things” made the atmosphere even more awkward.
What’s more, I’m already in college, so I really feel this “sudden desire to protect” is overwhelming and I don’t know how to deal with it.
Netizens suspect it is related to dementia
Many netizens left comments speculating on the reasons for the change. Some netizens speculated whether they might see car accidents in the near future, so they should pay extra attention to safety. At the same time, some netizens studying nursing pointed out that this may be a sign of dementia and suggested that the female victim take her mother for a check-up. The female victim also responded to the message, saying that in the past, even if her mother knew that a car accident had occurred, she would only give one or two reminders, and would not turn kind reminders into a “habit” like now. In addition, the female victim does not believe that the change alone can be used to conclude that her mother suffers from dementia. Other netizens also left messages suggesting that the female victim should spend more time with her mother and perform filial piety in a timely manner.
Breaking down common symptoms of dementia
The cognitive abilities of the elderly are gradually declining, and many people are susceptible to dementia. According to information from the Smart Friends website of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, cognitive impairment, also known as “dementia”, “Alzheimer’s disease”, and “degeneration”, is a disease of the brain’s nerve cells that causes abnormal decline in brain function. It is a general term for Alzheimer’s disease; it is also a disease caused by the loss of brain function. It affects memory, thinking, language, judgment, behavior and personality. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the cognitive disorders.
Patients will gradually lose their memory and other cognitive functions (such as learning, understanding, language use, sense of direction and judgment, etc.); some patients may also have symptoms of depression, hallucinations or personality changes. It is estimated that one in every six women and one in every 10 men in the 70-year-old population will suffer from the disease.
