I have been trying to get a diagnosis for my mum for 2 years and after a brain scan, mum has been diagnosed with moderately severe mixed dementia . I tried to talk to her about how she felt but she refuses to accept it and just says that the doctor said everything was ok and she had nothing to worry about . My dad also seems unable to accept it and says that the doctor said she is in very early stages - even though they know I was there and am fully aware of what was said . Dad thinks we should have ignored it and that we've just upset mum needlessly . I was hoping we might get mire support for mum but I don't think she'll accept it anyway . I just wondered if other people had experienced this and how they dealt with it . Thanks
