Crozier feels strongly about revealing the faces -- and stories -- behind the statistics on poverty. "Some of them might be your neighbours, some of them relatives. But there's a whole group of people that are being terribly affected by poverty, and will be for the rest of their living days," she said. Crozier also read a passage from her memoir, Small Beneath the Sky, in which she looked back on learning to read. Because she hadn't attended kindergarten (which had to be paid for), she was behind in Grade 1, and didn't know how to read.
A lot of hateful words were said amongst the two of us, some words I just recently forgiven her for. My mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago. She refuses to get treatment. As you can imagine, living with a bipolar person can be extremely difficult. While growing up, I felt confused, lonely and hated by my mother.

The cause of Alzheimer’s disease is said to be unknown, but theories such as an inherited chromosomal defect or immunologic defect can be related to the cause of the disease.” Some common symptoms of the disease include mild memory loss, personality changes,
Case Study 1 (expands on a previous scenario) Tina has alleged to a neighbour that her sister, who deals with her finances, has not been paying her contribution for her care and Tina had not been receiving her personal allowance. She has disclosed after her neighbour who came round to have a cup of tea while her sister was out. This neighbour has contacted Adult Services to express her concerns about this and the fact that she had last week seen Tina with a black eye. As a neighbour, she and Tina had been good friends, seeing a lot of one another, until Tina had a bad fall and became dependent on her younger sister for support. She hardly sees Tina now.

The word dementia means a progressive deterioration of one’s mental functions due to damage to the brain. This goes beyond what might be expected due to the normal ageing process. Dementia can be caused by different factors and also can be mixed. Around 750,000 people have the condition in the UK and this figure is projected to double in the next thirty years (Department of Health, 2012), (Nursing Times 04.09.12/ Vol 108 No.36/www.nursingtimes.net). Alzheimers is the most common form of dementia, responsible for around two thirds of cases.
Telling my parents was also a problem, much like Anna who took five years before admitting to her mother that she needed professional help. It gets really bad to a point that you can’t eat anymore, sleep is nearly impossible and crying becomes
We thought we had her seizures under control, until last month, she relapsed. We had a huge miscommunication.

When this first started we argued with the doctors about the seizures.
