Hello all. I'm new to this. My husband was diagnosed with mixed dementia 3 months ago. He has had it for several years but the changes have been gradual. Sometimes he says he hasn't got it. He can be aggressive. The nurse stopped coming and I know there is information out there but I don't know where to start. He has medicine patches.
