Hello,
My name is Alister. I am concerned that my 76 year old Dad has alzheimers or dementia. I have noticed changes in him over the past year. They were small to begin with and I just put it down to age but now I can really notice them.
Over the past month he appears agitated, irritated, looks grumpy/angry most of the time. Disengaged/Disinterested when I or my Mum say anything. Sleeps a lot of the time but says he isn't sleeping. I think he's in denial, I've tried to talk to him about my concerns but became very defensive and hasn't spoke to me since. I don't know what to do next. Any help or suggestions would be welcome. He's also lost a lot of weight.
