I have just joined this forum - my Mum who is nearly 93 is showing all the symptoms of dementia but I am loathe to mention it as both her parents had dementia, her mother had Alzheimers and her father had vascular dementia - both died from the effects. Mum is constantly repeating herself, has stopped going out alone, gets confused outside the home etc. She still lives alone though I am only two minutes away. Should I take her to the GP or should I just leave things as they are?
