The brain may pull details from old memories, TV shows, conversations, dreams, or unrelated information. For the person with dementia, it feels real. So how should you respond? If the story is harmless, go along with it. Stay

He confidently spoke of trips he never took... 🤔 We initially thought dementia or head injury. But the real culprit behind his 'false memories' (Confabulation) was something else entirely!
