My Dad has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He seems to have got rapidly worse over the last two or three months, with anxiety as well as forgetfulness and repeating himself. We have had to break the news to him over and over again as he keeps forgetting that he ever went to the doctor. It is heartbreaking.
The doctor has put him on anti-Alzheimers and anti-anxiety drugs and we have asked the local authority for a care assessment, although this could take 4 - 6 weeks.
Dad's symptoms suddenly seem to have got much worse. Is this anxiety and stress, or is it possible that Alzheimer's can progress very rapidly? It's all rather scary. Any advice welcomed. Thanks.
