[quote=Anonymous]This is such a difficult situation and there is no easy answer or fix. Yes, you need to take access of the car away, but that doesn’t fix the perseveration and anger and frustration. The car is the focus of the frustration and anger, but it is also an expression of the disease. Many people with dementia experience anger and frustration, so even if they accept not being able to drive, they may find something else to be angry and frustrated about. I went through something similar with my dad experiencing dementia and ended taking his car. For awhile the majority of our conversations were about having to go get his car. We were very worried that he would leave to try to find the car. I worked with his doctors to find a medication to help with the agitation.[/quote]
