Good morning everyone
I have just read through all the posts whilst having my first cup of tea of the day. I am so full of admiration for you all. You cope with so many things with great sprit and humour.
My question is this: I notice from all the posts that most of your loved ones are under the care of psychiatrists or CPN's. Mom isn't because she has moved area and was discharged by her consultant. I have asked the home to get her referred but they seem a bit slow about doing this. Should I keep pestering them. I feel that because mom is fine (apart from the AD) when she has no visitors that they are not taking this crying very seriously. I wonder if they put mom on some new medication if it would lift her mood. She is only on Venlafaxine at the moment as Aricept was stopped.
Thanks for reading. Take care of yourselves
