He’s since been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s so things are just going to get tougher….

My mom WAS TERRIFIED OF THESE!!! There’s a 6 hour test my mother took from a neuropsychiatrist, then followed up a year later that lasted about 1 hour... she lost her battle to Lewy Body Dementia last year at 68... I found she was lucid briefly for minutes then fought extreme paranoia and hallucinations, I cared for her for 3 years.... it was heart breaking and a horrible battle....

I did a job for a psychologist several years ago. After listening to a guy that had electric shock treatments and was a psychological counselor on PBS, she and I had a conversation about this guy’s role of psychological counselor. Finally, my client psychologist said, “I will admit that most people that become psychologist and psychiatrist usually go into this profession in order to diagnose their own neurosis.

Oh give it a rest, everybody knows the Biden stuff is retaliation for people questioning Trump's mental fitness 2+ years ago. He "took the test" then...but now appears to believe it was like 3 weeks ago or something. And that it had 32 questions...That's when he has time to recollect, what with all the excitement of Finland finally breaking off from Russia and the concerns that covid might not end the Korean War the same way it ended World War II in 1917. I think he mentioned that in Mininneandanapolis. Folks, when you're hoping to whip dementia out of your Election 2020 arsenal, all I can say is I promise you DON'T want to go there.

Im dyslexic and never could remember phone numbers, peoples names etc. I can play a mean game of darts but cant keep score to save my life. The neurologist do allow for existing memory problems or for people with a low or very high education.
Within two years you won’t remember who you are or where you live. Within 2 1/2 years you’ll think your a anteater and have major cravings for red ants. This will lead to being hospitalized on several occasions due to burrowing your face into fire ant holes. Within three years you’ll forget your an anteater and think your a diamond back rattlesnake. In roughly 6 months you’ll be arrested on several occasions due to biting several people and a couple cats. You end up only eating rodents and small lizards, you’ll be forced to eat alone due to the constant hissing sounds you make at the table forcing the other people to jump in fear of being bitten.
Definitely. I would guess it would be unethical to publicly present an actual patient without their ability to remember consenting to participate, whether verbal or written. Simply my speculation.

Tigger Nordberg I have chemo brain and fibromyalgia fog. I passed the test except the same as you lol. I can't remember names anymore. I told my doctor and he said he can't either. So I'm not worried lol.
That question seemed to be the kicker for many of us, me included. I've been treated for major depression & anxiety for 30 years and often have brain fog and have to search for a word I want to use but passed this test (except for John Smith).
I watched this because I am concerned about someone. It got to the John Smith in Bedford address...it rang a bell?! Then I remembered I had emblazoned this exact address in my memory during a lucidity test in Emergency. That was 22 years ago! Although I didn't remember the street name, I am now reassured that I don't have dementia!
If I count backward from 20 and name the months backwards, I at least wanna "very good" pat on the back. I wanted to tell this lady good job 👍🏻. Ol Doc maybe smart but he's dry as dust!
This test causes anxiety for people. Just knowing that your being so judged!!! Take your fish oil and get good sleep. Eliminate toxic people from your life and remember you are loved!
and when you think you can microwave a tin of baked beans, and you get lost on the way to the loo, and you do n't know how to use a telephone. take some fish oil, and stick your head up your ass. great advice, by someone who clearly has no idea what they are talking about.
The crazy thing to me is...while watching this we do a SELF test....not understanding that we give the answer we assume is correct..in reality if it is a SELF test we would never know if our answers were incorrect! We may all have an onset...draw a clock with numbers and hands on it...of course we would think we passed! We drew what we thought was correct..so we must be good.
I listened to the question then paused while I answered .I failed on months of the year .failed on repeating address of what’s his name .Im on my way out
Hi there, THANK YOU so much for posting this! I was with Mum during this test recently..... she didn't do so well....ish. This video helps me understand how the Doctor understood what is going on. It helps me, hopefully to help her.

A friend was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 59. I was told two of the test questions she was asked (and couldn't deal with): 1) Count backwards from 100 by 7's, and 2) draw a picture of a clock. For the latter, all she could draw was a plain circle.
@@A10TOES I have always been horrible at arithmetic - my entire life. My mother, however, loves numbers and worked in accounting/banking type jobs. She was recently tested and the neurologist was surprised that she not only counted backwards by 7's, but did it very quickly. So on that test, I'd fail miserably, my mother aced it, but she has been diagnosed currently with "mild memory loss" but, being with her regularly, her short-term memory is getting very poor. She asks the same questions repeatedly and gets distracted very easily. Apparently it's the totality of various questions/tests that aid in diagnosis.
Do you know where the studies are on the efficacy of the 3 word recall test? There are 3 little articles I've found, but not any decent studies to justify giving that test to the elderly. I know it's a standard test and I'm betting someone came up with it decades ago, and it has just been passed on down without any clear research. I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and I've been flummoxed on the actual studies for the 3 word recall test and the cube drawing test. How many people can go grocery shopping with 3 items in mind, and actually remember all three? My college freshmen cannot remember the 3 questions I ask them when they go around the room. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks
I am perfectly healthy yet I could not remember your John Smith thing. How would a person with mental impairment do it? In Canada we give them three objects to remember and ask this many times during the interview.
Their slowness of speech gives me a mental confidence that i can run circles around them, till i remember that i forgot what they said... while i was involved in some sort of loopy circle things. (that actually happened while i was typing that, but what good is it to lose your memory if you can't have fun with it .)

adhd is nothing not even thing like being ''sick,, completly normal thing and living with it is completly normal and most of it isnt even visible after age of 15/20 like u never had it
I didn't remember the John Smith one, because I thought it was just remembering the address to say it back to the guy immediately after, not remembering it for the end of the test
Carey Pettigrew I forced myself to do so. The scariest thing is when diagnosing mental exhaustion. Subtract 9 from 100. 91, I scoffed. 9 from 91... Couldn't do it. I was hospitalized for a month's rest...45 years ago.
Recalling years and months? Many health people have to stop for a second and calibrate "I wrote that email yestrrday, the 27th, so today's the 28th." I especially hate when EMS responders use this as a test after car accident, mishaps. Usually you are flustered, and you mind is not on the internal calendar.
I think my brain is broken. I couldn’t remember the address either times, I got 17 & 18 as well as 7 & 8 mixed up and I could only get to October when doing the months backwards. Edit: btw despite my name I am only 14
ha, thinking same, so boring voice, would drive you nuts if you were forced to listen for too long, the psych at the beginning quite odd as well, strange breed that work in psychiatry
He is speaking with probably dementia people; for heaven's sake use your brains! It's not for you who don't have issues except lack of patience and disregard for the dementia patient it's for the benefit of the patients who are already nervous or who can be over stimulated or easily confused. Think!
He's speaking slowly to help folks stay calm. You can imagine how anxious folks must feel taking this test. Shoot, I have a really good memory but I felt nervous taking the test while watching the video and the doctor's asking the question again about the address was tricky.
I do worry for my grandmother. It's hard to determine if she's having typical memory issues or if she's developing a more serious condition. She gets very upset if we suggest a screening. Do you have any advice on what to do?
On a day when conversation is going well and no one’s scheduled to be anywhere, maybe in a neutral and quiet environment, can you ask her what her fears are? Most importantly, it also has to be when you are ready and able to listen actively to really seek to understand, not reply, fix, challenge, reassure or otherwise jump in with your thoughts and emotions. Does she know people who have developed memory loss? What are her observations about how it was handled. What went well? What went poorly. What could have been done differently by the people supporting the individual who had memory loss? Speak to your own doctor about this concern for your mum. The doctor will advise you suggestions they have learned. Research this online. In meantime for you and concerned family to keep a log of concerns as examples when time comes and it has to be assessed because it impacts her normal functioning. @HopeAngel777

Wow this test is way different than the one here in America. It's the same test Everytime. Questions like spell world backwards, draw a box, the Dr in the beginning will say 3 words example pen, comb & chair and what's your full birthday? That's the just of testing basically.
This is crap! I am dyslexic, dyspraxic & have numerical dyslexia. I rarely know the month or time and would struggle to recall numbers and months backwards. I am 39 & have struggle with this since childhood. I check my phone or ask my 13 yr old son. Lol. I forgot the fake address instantly that he said it, although I think that is largely to do with his dead pan, boring nature. I could easily tell him who the queen was or other current topics. Surely identifying objects or foods would be more use? In the intro he said it would be easy for all....... Not the dyslexic's!

My mom won't bath now it has been a few years ,she refuse to get drops in her eyes because she blames sight loose on drops witch is keeping eyes healthy . Her memory is not to bad, what do you guys think ?
This doctor talks like an old style labor party politician. They used to be coached to talk real slow so the dimmest voter could handle it, and the sharp voters lost patience and forgot what their speech was about.
Yes. There is very little help for people with hearing difficulties on these tests. The only reason I got answers correct was because I was reading the closed captions, otherwise I would have been lost.
Very late reply, but in case anyone is interested, being given a name and address to remember is a test for short term memory. Knowing the Queen is long term memory, so not useful for testing short term memory.
"do you remember when you first started losing your memory?"
"No"
"What question did i just ask?"
"if you cant remember that i think you need the test, not me".

This is a pretty lively bunch - lively to the point of almost being frantic. Such frenzied speech I could barely keep track.
hebneh you have to remember that this video is primarily intended for the edification of GPs very few of whom speak English or know any words of more than one syllable
Hilarious. 🤣🤪😜
@Ella Akehurst My children are also mixed race yet im less sensitive and took no offence at all, my husband by the way is an MD and sometimes even I struggle to understand him. Relax and try not to take the world so seriously.
Are we watching a different video? This was completely the opposite
@@nicolarollinson4381 Sarcasm. Same video, but a joke.
Well my mother would be able to answer the first three questions correctly but she still thinks she was bridesmaid at our daughters wedding!!??
2:56 Doctor lies to patient. "It's a memory test."
Has anyone else noticed that most Psychiatrist's seem a half bubble off center?
Yes
Meeting a psychiatrist who is completely "sane" is very refreshing!
I did a job for a psychologist several years ago. After listening to a guy that had electric shock treatments and was a psychological counselor on PBS, she and I had a conversation about this guy’s role of psychological counselor. Finally, my client psychologist said, “I will admit that most people that become psychologist and psychiatrist usually go into this profession in order to diagnose their own neurosis.
LOL. I’ve never heard that expression before. Brilliant.
Are you a chippy? That’s a good phrase! Ta
I would be stumped with all of the instructions at the end!
I took a memory test 3 days ago. I think is was three days ago.
It took memory test all right he talks so slow by the time what he said got to me I forgot what we were talking about
I appreciate this video. TY
It should be a rule that all Candidates go through dementia screening. That would of course, immediately eliminate Biden, but that is what should happen.
As well as Trump
@@heynedajoon Say wah? Trump doesn't display any sign of dementia? You must me a medical prodigy...no education yet ya can diagnose from thousands of miles away. You are amazing.
thom wessels
Oh dear, was thinking Trump is suffering from early stage dementia because he can’t keep his lies straight!
@@CC-yq6xr You need to keep in touch while Trump wins in November. Promise? Seriously....promise?
Oh give it a rest, everybody knows the Biden stuff is retaliation for people questioning Trump's mental fitness 2+ years ago. He "took the test" then...but now appears to believe it was like 3 weeks ago or something. And that it had 32 questions...That's when he has time to recollect, what with all the excitement of Finland finally breaking off from Russia and the concerns that covid might not end the Korean War the same way it ended World War II in 1917. I think he mentioned that in Mininneandanapolis. Folks, when you're hoping to whip dementia out of your Election 2020 arsenal, all I can say is I promise you DON'T want to go there. I'm afraid pedophilia and racism are also spoken for by the administration so you guys are going to have to get creative. Get a move on it, election day is only two months away.
"Do you remember you came to tell me you were concerned that you had some problems with your memory"
How many of you were doing the tests watching? Just me then.
Hahaha me lol
Thank you. Great test. I wish. We had this type of test here in the United States of America. And for the take home part also. Thank you again. Sincerely. EILEEN SICKEL from the United States of America
We do have them, lol.
I suggest listening at 1.5 x times speed is much more acceptable
Im dyslexic and never could remember phone numbers, peoples names etc. I can play a mean game of darts but cant keep score to save my life. The neurologist do allow for existing memory problems or for people with a low or very high education.
I'm 19 and I forgot the address... Oh deary dear
There is such a thing as early onset Alzheimer's unless you are just being a jerkweed.
Within two years you won’t remember who you are or where you live. Within 2 1/2 years you’ll think your a anteater and have major cravings for red ants. This will lead to being hospitalized on several occasions due to burrowing your face into fire ant holes. Within three years you’ll forget your an anteater and think your a diamond back rattlesnake. In roughly 6 months you’ll be arrested on several occasions due to biting several people and a couple cats. You end up only eating rodents and small lizards, you’ll be forced to eat alone due to the constant hissing sounds you make at the table forcing the other people to jump in fear of being bitten.
Miranda Brooks are you ok???? 19 year olds can be forgetful because they’re 19 without being called names by you. Who even has the urge
@@danielbarton1161 This made me laugh, very good. :-)
Hahaha
Very informative
Interesting and easy to test.
I felt that she was acting
Definitely. I would guess it would be unethical to publicly present an actual patient without their ability to remember consenting to participate, whether verbal or written. Simply my speculation.
She was. It was just an illustration.
no shit
Try this test as home kids.
1) Name the 12 zodiac signs in reverse order of the calendar year.
2) What is normal body temperature...in fahrenheit and celcius.
3) What is the speed of light? In miles per hour and kilometers per hour.
4) Name the Ten Commandments in order, one through ten.
5) What is another word for Thesaurus?
6) Vasilis Rapsomanikis lives at 9961 Kolokithas Boulevard in Osawatomie, Kansas. (You will be asked to remember this later!)

It's creepy how he smiles as he turns to the patient
Gather some smarts and compassion or get the hell off the site.
I could not remember the address, I could not say the months backwards, and at this point I can not remember what else was on the test. Scary..
Dora Lee me to
I think I will start having more brain foods and walking/swimming, brain games, what ever it takes :)
John Doe That's just too sad.
Dora Lee same... but I'm 16... great:(
pine tree I was very young when it started with me also. I noticed that good diet exercise and proper sleeping habits really help a whole lot.
These are also questions after having a seizure....not this many but, similar
My mom was 93 and in a nursing home, they asked her in a assessment who is the premier of Alberta who is the mayor of calgary what day of the week is it what did you have for supper on Tuesday She never watched news she said it was depressing didn’t follow politics said it was even more depressing she also said everyday was the same routine so she lost track of days because it made no difference
As a person with chemo brain I'm thrilled I passed this rest except for the John Smith 42 high Street Bedford hahaha
Tigger Nordberg I have chemo brain and fibromyalgia fog. I passed the test except the same as you lol. I can't remember names anymore. I told my doctor and he said he can't either. So I'm not worried lol.
Chemo brain also...had bit of trouble with April, May.
We have an excuse...hang in there
I don't think most could remember that ,the second time. If it hadnt been a simple common name I couldn't have answered it.
That question seemed to be the kicker for many of us, me included. I've been treated for major depression & anxiety for 30 years and often have brain fog and have to search for a word I want to use but passed this test (except for John Smith).
Im not on that either but I've never been able to do that 😬
I watched this because I am concerned about someone. It got to the John Smith in Bedford address...it rang a bell?! Then I remembered I had emblazoned this exact address in my memory during a lucidity test in Emergency. That was 22 years ago! Although I didn't remember the street name, I am now reassured that I don't have dementia!
Excellent video...
Thank you for sharing this video.
U gave me dementia, I couldn't remember any of his question. off, lol
"Damn cheek, asking my husband how he thinks I'm managing at home. Why don't you ask him why he never lifts a hand to help?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
That's broads work.
@@Carl-LaFong1618 Norfolk broads?
Too true
Very biased
If I count backward from 20 and name the months backwards, I at least wanna "very good" pat on the back. I wanted to tell this lady good job 👍🏻. Ol Doc maybe smart but he's dry as dust!
This test causes anxiety for people. Just knowing that your being so judged!!! Take your fish oil and get good sleep. Eliminate toxic people from your life and remember you are loved!
and when you think you can microwave a tin of baked beans, and you get lost on the way to the loo, and you do n't know how to use a telephone. take some fish oil, and stick your head up your ass. great advice, by someone who clearly has no idea what they are talking about.
whats his name? Thank you!
🧡
How you differentiate between 'fibro fog" and a more classical impairmen?t
good vid and informative . Doctors are soooo drole.
The crazy thing to me is...while watching this we do a SELF test....not understanding that we give the answer we assume is correct..in reality if it is a SELF test we would never know if our answers were incorrect! We may all have an onset...draw a clock with numbers and hands on it...of course we would think we passed! We drew what we thought was correct..so we must be good.
I listened to the question then paused while I answered .I failed on months of the year .failed on repeating address of what’s his name .Im on my way out
Raise your hand if you make it a habit to remember the months backwards.
Hi there, THANK YOU so much for posting this! I was with Mum during this test recently..... she didn't do so well....ish. This video helps me understand how the Doctor understood what is going on. It helps me, hopefully to help her.
I know who you are doctor. I spent nearly 20 years living in the UK and six of that right across the way from Rotherham and I as a young teen had a pen pal from Rotherham.
I'm almost 57, and I got them all right. My father had dementia
Good job on your test! I’m glad your doing well.

Well, this video wasn't awkward at all. Hope I'm not mental.
That term mental is absolutely ridiculous, cognitively impaired is much better term
Sicko!
A friend was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 59. I was told two of the test questions she was asked (and couldn't deal with): 1) Count backwards from 100 by 7's, and 2) draw a picture of a clock. For the latter, all she could draw was a plain circle.
Counting backwards by 7 is BS, many of us can't do that....geeze, I hated math!
@@A10TOES I have always been horrible at arithmetic - my entire life. My mother, however, loves numbers and worked in accounting/banking type jobs. She was recently tested and the neurologist was surprised that she not only counted backwards by 7's, but did it very quickly. So on that test, I'd fail miserably, my mother aced it, but she has been diagnosed currently with "mild memory loss" but, being with her regularly, her short-term memory is getting very poor. She asks the same questions repeatedly and gets distracted very easily. Apparently it's the totality of various questions/tests that aid in diagnosis.
They asked me to count backwards from 100 by 7 who can do that ?
Dear Lord, Russell!! Wake up!!
@@koenwilson I can & I’m terrible at math.
Is it uk version of mini mental state examination please?
How do you score this test? i.e. it gives a range from 0- 17 do you assign any label for scores in ranges between 1-17?
Do you know where the studies are on the efficacy of the 3 word recall test? There are 3 little articles I've found, but not any decent studies to justify giving that test to the elderly. I know it's a standard test and I'm betting someone came up with it decades ago, and it has just been passed on down without any clear research. I'm writing a graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and I've been flummoxed on the actual studies for the 3 word recall test and the cube drawing test. How many people can go grocery shopping with 3 items in mind, and actually remember all three? My college freshmen cannot remember the 3 questions I ask them when they go around the room. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks
I am perfectly healthy yet I could not remember your John Smith thing. How would a person with mental impairment do it? In Canada we give them three objects to remember and ask this many times during the interview.
The three objects is used in the U.S. as well.
I cant either!
lol i couldnt remember john smiths address either
I struggled with that too, English is my second language perhaps that made it harder for my brain. Is English your first language and how old are you?
P Sherman Wallaby Way Sydney if I forget that address…..somethings wrong.
Their slowness of speech gives me a mental confidence that i can run circles around them, till i remember that i forgot what they said... while i was involved in some sort of loopy circle things. (that actually happened while i was typing that, but what good is it to lose your memory if you can't have fun with it .)

My adhd won't allow me to pass this test.
@Val O'Brien 6
adhd is nothing not even thing like being ''sick,, completly normal thing and living with it is completly normal and most of it isnt even visible after age of 15/20 like u never had it
I get the impression by the bad acting that this patient is really the receptionist of this gps surgery.
I can’t remember what I’m doing from one moment to the next but I got a perfect score on this
How old are you?
Probably more ADD then related to memory
Yes
I didn't remember the John Smith one, because I thought it was just remembering the address to say it back to the guy immediately after, not remembering it for the end of the test
i remembered as it was my dads name and he lived on high street, but not Bedford
Think I woke up in a different world where people all wear big glasses and talk too slowly. Is it me?
LOL!
Fucksake she’ll not win any oscars with that acting. It’s like watching one of those so called customers off of those shitty t.v info-mercials
OMG. I thought the same. LOL.
Gwynth grove . YES .
He must be on something......lol
I never could say the months backwards.
Carey Pettigrew I forced myself to do so. The scariest thing is when diagnosing mental exhaustion. Subtract 9 from 100. 91, I scoffed. 9 from 91... Couldn't do it. I was hospitalized for a month's rest...45 years ago.
really helpful
Even as a child I could never have been able to back up and tell you that address. Only thing I could not do.
What time is it? If I get it within 3 hours I consider that decent
I took this test when my mother had to sign up for long term insurance , she was 30 years older then me and I did only as well as she did 😝
What if you’re just not that bright of a person and never really were ? I could do the months backwards lol
Maybe we should all send Christmas cards to John Smith, 42 High Street, Bedford?
Recalling years and months? Many health people have to stop for a second and calibrate "I wrote that email yestrrday, the 27th, so today's the 28th." I especially hate when EMS responders use this as a test after car accident, mishaps. Usually you are flustered, and you mind is not on the internal calendar.
I think my brain is broken. I couldn’t remember the address either times, I got 17 & 18 as well as 7 & 8 mixed up and I could only get to October when doing the months backwards.
Edit: btw despite my name I am only 14
I would not worry too much at your age but if your family notices changes in you it may be time to see a doctor.
Ok so I got the time wrong and forgot John's address the second time around. What does that mean?
Do I fail the test if I fall asleep while these nice gentlemen are speaking?
ha, thinking same, so boring voice, would drive you nuts if you were forced to listen for too long, the psych at the beginning quite odd as well, strange breed that work in psychiatry
Unless they are railroad conductors or broadcast producers, people are clueless as to the current time. THAT'S WHY WE WEAR WATCHES!!! DUH!!
Well, no dementia here. This test is easy. Is it me, or does this man speak frustratingly slowly?
He is speaking with probably dementia people; for heaven's sake use your brains! It's not for you who don't have issues except lack of patience and disregard for the dementia patient it's for the benefit of the patients who are already nervous or who can be over stimulated or easily confused. Think!
Hope you don't have to deal dementia. It You should HV understood the need to speak slow.
I agree with you@@mircat28
It's you.
He's speaking slowly to help folks stay calm. You can imagine how anxious folks must feel taking this test. Shoot, I have a really good memory but I felt nervous taking the test while watching the video and the doctor's asking the question again about the address was tricky.
What if you give the year wrong but you're only a year off and it's January or December? That seems more like plain old absentmindedness in that case.
I do worry for my grandmother. It's hard to determine if she's having typical memory issues or if she's developing a more serious condition. She gets very upset if we suggest a screening. Do you have any advice on what to do?
Tell her to draw a clock with you and you do it too but don’t let her know that you’re testing her
On a day when conversation is going well and no one’s scheduled to be anywhere, maybe in a neutral and quiet environment, can you ask her what her fears are? Most importantly, it also has to be when you are ready and able to listen actively to really seek to understand, not reply, fix, challenge, reassure or otherwise jump in with your thoughts and emotions.
Does she know people who have developed memory loss? What are her observations about how it was handled. What went well? What went poorly. What could have been done differently by the people supporting the individual who had memory loss?
Speak to your own doctor about this concern for your mum. The doctor will advise you suggestions they have learned.
Research this online.
In meantime for you and concerned family to keep a log of concerns as examples when time comes and it has to be assessed because it impacts her normal functioning. @HopeAngel777
Good evening, Doc.
I want to know if any age can have dimentia?
i honestly had trouble hearing the full address with his accent for some reason.
Would you consider no music. Those with disphonia can't do both. At the same time.
I'd leave... saying... "I forgot to pay my bill."
We don't pay for doctors in Britain
@@johngibson2773 You do - the money it takes for health services doesn't rain from the sky. Your taxes and, not sure about Britain, but I know the EU countries have the value added tax (VAT) that, by American standards are horrendous. So, you do pay, just in a different manner.
i shceduled a demetia test but i forgot about it and missed the appointment
wood wire that’s not on lol!
I appreciate the video, but man you people need some coffee.
+Ana Victoria: LOL! That's funny, but they have to be measured and serious. :)
A little personality wouldn't hurt either. These men have what we used to call "inappropriate affect."
I don't disagree but sometimes this helps calm the patient.
The doctor or the psychologist MUST behave that way because old people and people with dementia are SLOW
@@animo2222 haha, not ALL old ppl are slow.
Wow this test is way different than the one here in America. It's the same test Everytime. Questions like spell world backwards, draw a box, the Dr in the beginning will say 3 words example pen, comb & chair and what's your full birthday? That's the just of testing basically.
This is crap!
I am dyslexic, dyspraxic & have numerical dyslexia.
I rarely know the month or time and would struggle to recall numbers and months backwards.
I am 39 & have struggle with this since childhood.
I check my phone or ask my 13 yr old son. Lol.
I forgot the fake address instantly that he said it, although I think that is largely to do with his dead pan, boring nature.
I could easily tell him who the queen was or other current topics.
Surely identifying objects or foods would be more use?
In the intro he said it would be easy for all.......
Not the dyslexic's! I also regularly forget how to write with good old fashioned pen & paper........ I am so used to smartphones and dictate to type.
I'd be put in a home ! 😂
My mom won't bath now it has been a few years ,she refuse to get drops in her eyes because she blames sight loose on drops witch is keeping eyes healthy . Her memory is not to bad, what do you guys think ?
This doctor talks like an old style labor party politician. They used to be coached to talk real slow so the dimmest voter could handle it, and the sharp voters lost patience and forgot what their speech was about.
How does a score of C fit into the score? I think it said 8 or worse is bad, but C isn't a number you can add in.
It doesn't help to have poor hearing, I thought the address was Thetford.
Spitalhatch - I thought too - lol
And was it High street or Hyde street?
Yes. There is very little help for people with hearing difficulties on these tests. The only reason I got answers correct was because I was reading the closed captions, otherwise I would have been lost.
Person, woman, man, camera, tv. 📺
Jesus! I'm so dyslexic I would fail regardless
im not dyslexic yet i might fail too😂
I could not ever recite things backwards...the alphabet, the months etc so why should I remember how to do it when I get old???
It's Ward Cleaver, Leave it to Beaver's Dad.
Welp I could never do the name adress one even as a teen
How many people forgot the name and address! It would be easier remembering who the Queen was as she's been there 60 plus years.
I remembered the name and the county but not the street number. I'm in the U.S. and I could remember who the Queen is. ;)
Very late reply, but in case anyone is interested, being given a name and address to remember is a test for short term memory. Knowing the Queen is long term memory, so not useful for testing short term memory.
bro i forgot celebrity names so yh
This could be a skit from SNL except it’s British.
Monty Python would be the British equivalent.
