[quote=Anonymous]Your father is in the early stages of dementia. My father is similarly anxious, but his obsession is recording every single food he eats, because he's so anxious his (long-standing) eczema has worsened, and he's convinced it must be something he's eating (the same stuff he's always eaten). We're also trying to get him diagnosed, and I want him to try anxiety meds. Your father would benefit too. Has he tried magnesium, like the Calm powders? It's good for anxiety AND it helps with constipation. Win-win! But in the long-term, yes, your father probably needs extensive check-ups and is likely progressing into dementia. I'm sorry, OP. (My great-aunt died of a blockage. No need to worry about that unless he hasn't moved his bowels in a few days.) [/quote]
