Hi All,
My grandma has been diagnosed with AD this week. For a long time she has been on anti depressants and we have thought thats what was wrong. After looking at threads on this site everything has just clicked into place.After visiting her today i felt i could cope with her better just because it now has a name what is wrong with her.
At present the current fascination is money!! her handbag must open and close at least thirty times an hour where she is looking for her purse, then she says she has no money even though there is a wad there then the purse disappears then the tears come and then the anger and this is an everlasting circle that goes on all day.
her interest in reading the radio or tv has disappeared and she spends a lot of the time saying she wishes someone would take her(as in god) this is really upsetting. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help her enjoy something and keep her occupied?
