It's 2 weeks since Mum went in to a hospital and today she was finally moved to the local assessmant and rehab unit. We had our 1st meeting with a doctor
Firstly her CT scan is clear, but I asked about TIA's and was told that they don't show up on a CT scan - if that is correct, then how are they dignosed please ?
Secondly, the mental health assessment team have asked for a referral to a psychiatrist. Can you tell me please, is this a normal step in trying to get a diagnosis and does it have any significance? The doctor made comment about her not being capabale of looking after her own welfare.
Thirdly the doctor has said that she has no awareness of her own mental condition, just blames me for telling them that she has gone mad
