Hi All
My Dad had to sectioned under section 2 , 5 days ago. This was due to his behaviour becoming to hard to managed ( he was living at home with mum) Over a period of 6 weeks he became double incontinent , always wanting to go “home” - crying , crawling around on the floor whilst saying he wanted to died- shadowing my mum and seeing imaginary people . He was absolutely relentless and only had a few hours in 24hrs he was calm- however when he was calm he seemed happy and at peace.
He’s now on an acute dementia ward where they will do a complete assessment of him and tweak his medication.
I have visited every day and it’s heartbreaking, he’s so sad - he obviously has no understanding of why he’s there - when I go in he thinks he’s going home.
Has anyone had any experience of their LO being sectioned to get assessed? Did it help?
We’re looking at Care homes for him to go in when he leaves to able my mum to get some life back - it’s so hard. Any positive experiences would be great please ?
Thank u for reading
