This is my private place to write about my thoughts. I just read:
One of the things that is happening to your wife is that she is losing her EPA (Executive Planning Ability). This is not uncommon in PD and one of the things that drives caregivers up the wall. It is becoming harder for her to formulate, initiate and complete actions.
Unfortunately, that is the concept I needed.
Also:
Cognitive symptoms in PD include the following:
- Loss of decision-making ability
- Inflexibility in adapting to changes
- Disorientation in familiar surroundings
- Problems learning new material
- Difficulty concentrating
- Loss of short- and long-term memory
- Difficulty putting a sequence of events in correct order
- Problems using complex language and comprehending others’ complex language
