[quote=Anonymous]My MIL was diagnosed with ADHD around age 80, as part of a workup for dementia (which she also has). I think her dementia was more advanced, looking back, than the workup suggested, so the ADHD was kind of a camouflage that might have disguised the severity of the dementia. It was a really pointless diagnosis, IMO, which only confused her and made her upset. There was no treatment offered. She has had a lot of ADHD-related issues as her dementia has progressed involving disinhibition and impulsivity. It is causing a lot of problems in getting her appropriate eldercare.[/quote]
