My nan has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and is refusing to accept this, she says the memory clinic and her GP are wrong. It took so much persuasion and hard work to get her to agree to the memory assessment, and now we have the diagnosis confirmed, she has refused any help of any form on offer. She is deteriorating each month that goes by. It is putting an immense pressure on my mum and me who feel like we are in total free fall with no support. Worried that by the time she accepts it, it may be too late for any help to try and manage things.
Has anyone else had a family member who has refused to accept their diagnosis and if so is there is there any advice?
