Good morning everyone
I am in one of my can't sleep because of worrying days so I though I would get up have a cup of tea and read through all the posts.
What I wondered was are all your loved ones under psychiatric care. Mom has been in a psychiatric hospital twice during the last year and we were advised during the last stay that the best way forward was to put her into residential care. The lovely home that we chose is close to me and is not anywhere near the area of the hospital so she was discharged from their care. We were told that because mom has AD she will just gradually get worse and there was no need for her to be under psychiatric care. Do you think this is right. I personally think that she needs to see a psychiatrist because I think she is very depressed and maybe a change of medication would lift her mood. Also even though it may sound silly I would like to know how the AD is going as sometimes I wonder if she has it at all or if she is just severly depressed A silly thought I know but I cling to hope.
Your kind advice would be much appreciated.
