[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- it is not dementia, she’s been tested several times and when I get her to take anti anxiety medicine (Ativan) she acts perfectly normal again.[/quote] When was the last time? Was it just a screen or full battery? The screens do a poor job of detecting the early stages. Did she tell you she was fine or did the doctor have no concerns about cognition? There is often a massive surge in anxiety and/or depression before the dementia becomes obvious. How often do you see her? If you see her daily or several times a week and think she is totally fine, that's one thing. However, if you visit once a month or less, she could be masking/showboating. [/quote]
