My mother was diagnosed with Alzhiemer’s last year. She’s been having mood swings even since taking medication.
For example one minute she will be in tears about something and the next she will be laughing.
I’ve discussed this with her GP before and I think this is part of her illness. However, the GP wants another memory nurse to see her from a mental health team. My mother had already been seeing a memory nurse who works at the surgery.
This GP has wasted my time before when I was her patient. I’m wondering if this is going to be a waste of time and if I should speak to the GP before she makes the referral?
Any advice? Thanks
