[quote=Anonymous]Rigid schedule and anxiety could be her compensating for memory loss. My mom has a very rigid schedule because any changes are scary and confusing. The rigidity and anxiety come from their awareness that they’re missing things and if they have a set schedule it’s easier for them to remember since it’s the same. It does sound like cognitive decline which I guess is just another term for dementia. My mom also has vascular dementia which I understand manifests slightly differently than Alzheimer’s.[/quote]
