[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell her how you feel, instead of trying to plan on medications that may or may not work. If she’s feeling blue about aging, trying to take away her agency will only make it worse. Maybe it’s just a season? We all hand them. [/quote] These are often signs of dementia too-withdrawing, obsessing, being mean. Telling someone with dementia how it makes you feel often doesn't go over well. The doctor needs to be aware of what OP is seeing so a screener can be done for both mental health issues and dementia which can be intertwined. I saw what happens when they don't get meds, etc with in my own family. Lashing out and scaring away friends, being asked to leave a doctor's office due to rudeness, etc. Better to be proactive.[/quote]
