[quote=Anonymous] This is one of the things that is so awful about trying to get an elderly parent evaluated. They think you are gas-lighting them. It is common for those with dementia not to be aware of their decline. Heck it's common for those around them to be in denial especially since the person with dementia can have good moments where they seem lucid and fine. So not only does it seem to them like you are gaslighting them, but at least for me, I questioned my own reality and whether I was over-reacting to concerning things I saw and heard. I suspect this is why it's harder to get people diagnosed early on. It has to be glaringly obvious for some families to push for the evaluation.[/quote]
