My husband has hallucinations, and cannot understand why I cant see what he is seeing. I wish to know how to respond in the best way to help him.
I would greatly appreciate any advice
Hi maisieknit
I care for my dad who has dlb.
Unfortunately there are no licenced meds for lewy bodys..but sometimes.donepezil is given for the alzheimers symptoms to help the cognitive side...
There can be delusions where they see things you see just differently..and tell a different story to them...or hallucinations where generally they cant be ..and sometimes noises animals or people..these sometimes startle cause distress upset wellbeing..so get assisted by medication sometimes.
My dad sees a police car and describes a riot arrests fighting and people running about...its only actually a police car parked .
If which ever causes major upset harm in anyway then we address it..if not then we either distract or agree or acknowledge...we never ever disagree or correct....
If your brain no matter how damaged gave you a response and someone kept on correcting you..i would imagine it could be so annoying..
Aggitation and aggression are forms of communicating really..not nice to be on the recieving end..but over time you learn what upsets or doesnt and sometimes read body language.
Best wishes
