"Confabulation happens when your brain creates scenarios that did not occur to make up for gaps in your memory. It can happen as a result of various memory disorders or an injury to the brain". Healthline.co.uk (2017).
The elderly gentleman I care for full time confabulates in almost every conversation.
This started after he experienced a fall from a ladder around 7 years ago resulting in a permanent brain injury.
In the beginning of my caring journey I used to feel very frustrated and tried to correct him. This just confused him more. Over the years I have learned to just agree with him.
Does anyone have experience of caring for a person who confabulates?
Examples would be great to make people more aware of this memory disorder in people with an acquired brain injury.
