I believe my dad (60) has been suffering from some form of dementia for approx. 2 years but he refuses to see a doctor and consequently we don't have a diagnosis. My Mum has been to the doctor several times requesting help but doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. They did call my dad in under the guise of a 60 yr check but it came to nothing because he is physically very fit and wouldn't acknowledge that he had any memory or language issues. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I really don't know where to turn next. My dad has significant memory loss and problems with language (both finding the right words and understanding simple words spoken to him), as well as a lack of recognition of some people he should know. However, he is very repressed emotionally and whilst I am sure is very upset by the changes he is experiencing he won't discuss it with anyone, even immediate family. Any Ideas? thanks
