Hello
This is the 1st time I have posted here. My Dad has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimers, although we had an idea, to actually hear it is still a horrible shock. He is in his early 70s and lives with my Mum. I want to do all i can to support them, I jsut dont know where to start. My Mum has been given a helpline number but dosent feel up to calling it yet! The consultant said he will probably prescribe some medication for him, does anyone have any thoughts/advice on how effective the medication is?? I am feeling very afraid for my parents future!
