[quote=Anonymous]PP whose mother ‘lied’ to cover up/deny her decline. One problem with this is that it was actually pretty successful in fooling other people, some of whom may have been willfully in denial (like my dad), which delayed getting a diagnosis. Other relatives thought I was overreacting when I tried to sound alarm bells about cognitive decline and it took almost a year to convince them that it wasn’t ’normal aging.’ I don’t blame her, but it was very frustrating and undermined our ability to get her on medications that had some benefits in the early stages.[/quote]
