Hello everyone,
I’ve been reading the posts but not posted yet. My Dad was diagnosed with mixed dementia last year. He had one home visit from the memory clinic nurse and takes his medication. It was a really stressful visit as he was quite angry and felt betrayed, as he is insistent that there is nothing wrong with him. Even now, when he forgets what you’ve told him 5 minutes earlier, he seems to lack insight that his memory is shot.
Because of this, I feel very out of the loop with what is happening. I keep wondering if he should get his medication reviewed but my step mum says that he won’t go back to the G.P.
He is now waking with ‘night terrors’, insisting that he needs to be taken home etc. I think it could be the medication from what I’ve read here but it’s very frustrating getting information second hand from my step mum and not being able to speak to the nurse or doctor.
Is there anything that anyone could suggest that I could do?
Thanks!
