Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can help with severe symptoms of depression in people living with dementia if lifestyle and social changes don’t work, but these should not be the first option.

Watch this video to hear their story in full. Keith Horncastle explains the development of the Memory Calendar and how important it is for those living with dementia.

Some people affected by dementia told us that they would not normally feel able toattend an activity,but using this approach encouraged them to have confidence that wewere dementia-aware and cared about their experience. So this increased the range of people with dementia we were able to involve. We knew it was helpful to us, as Val could see at a glance exactly what we were doing each day, but we didn't necessarily know if other people would find it useful.' Following are several free, online care calendar resources that families can use to build their care teams, share tasks and coordinate helpers: Keith and Val were thrilled when Helen O'Connor, Dementia Support Service Manager for Derbyshire Alzheimer's Society, phoned to say she had heard about the calendar and wanted to pilot the product in the county.Although there was no additional cash to launch the project, Chris offered to develop and produce 1,000 calendars at his own expense and then donate any profits to Alzheimer's Society. A resource such as a care team calendar is a personalized online tool to organize family and friends who want to help with caregiving. This makes it easy to share activities and information with your care team. You can post items for which assistance is needed and care team members, can sign up for specific tasks. Place in a prominent position – it is self-supporting, can be laid flat, or even carried in a handbag We talk a lot about helping people with dementia to live well, but this story shows us how someone with dementia can help themselves and other people too.'

Val Horncastle, who had dementia for the last seven years of her life, developed the idea of the Memory Calendar with her husband Keith. The couple took their prototype calendar to the Memory Café in Buxton, and Alzheimer's Society staff there suggested that Keith could try to get the calendar produced commercially. Brainwave Caregiving is both rewarding and challenging. It's important to ask for the help and break that you and the individual living with dementia need. When friends and family ask what they can do to help, accept their offer. Imagine knowing that today is a significant day for you or your family but not being able to put your finger on why, exactly, it is. For the person in the early to mid-stages of dementia, the frustration of forgetting the simple things during a lapse of memory is terribly distressing, causing feelings of anxiety, sadness and even worthlessnessVAT Relief for the disabled is a government scheme that allows the zero-rating of goods if certain conditions are met. The seeds are held in clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder, which protects them from birds and insects.
