My husband is 65 and has been having memory problems for many years. About 5 years ago it got so bad I pushed him to the doctor. He had memory tests and an MRI scan and we were told it was not dementia. He was diagnosed with depression and put on the highest dose of sertraline and has had no review since. The GP said he had too many mule genes and should behave better. But we were also told that at such a young age, if it was dementia, after a year he would be much worse. He is not much worse, but he is unbearable to live with. We run our own business and he loses us a lot of money with his lack of sense. He is a complete pain insisting on doing things his way when he cannot work anything out getting everything mixed up and forgetting what he has done. The most annoying thing is he blames all his mistakes on others, mostly me or our Asperger son, or often denies something even happened. But when he is in company and especially when with a doctor or psychiatrist he puts on this amazing act where he seems normal and often switched on! Our grown up children feel sorry for him because they think he is ‘old’or has dementia. I feel the GP had him sussed. But is it likely that if he had tests again they would show a different result. At home he is moody, difficult, disorganised and forgetful. When others are around he is comparatively normal. Any ideas, I am at the point of leaving him which will cause great financial stress for us all.
