has anyone else experienced this. Over the last few weeks my husband has started to repeat the word yes over and over,I donT think he realises he is doing this, but it's driving me crazy. Anyone else had this and what did you do? Many thanks.
This is so irritating

This is a common enough symptom and may be caused by anxiety, confusion or some distress.
I've put a link to a Society Factsheet below and this deals with many behaviours. Repetitive behaviour in on Pg15 onwards. Just click the 2nd line of the link for an easy read. I hope it helps.

Just an added thought, it may be worth having your husband checked for an infection, such as a UTI, or dehydration as these can be common in the hot weather and could cause the change in symptoms.
Thank you kp will get him checked out and in the meantime try to be especially reassuring
It's difficult but try to ignore it, my husband claps his hands together like a bongo monkey and knocks on doors as he passes by. I run to answer, find my key to unlock door but nobody there and my husband is standing there snickering away. Takes much patience & understanding.
Thank you dancer I do try not to have knee jerk reactions to any strange twists in this awful situation but sometimes it's hard not to. As I replied to k.p. I will get him checked for uti, but I rather suspect he is struggling with recent incontinence problems plus we have been away for a few days so still a little lost.

My OH says “well done” in response to me finding something he has lost, buying something he wanted, fixing something he can no longer fix, making him a sandwich....... whatever. It drives me bonkers but as others have said this sort of repetitive response is very common if irritating
Thanks for replying just an update rod been checked for uti and he is clear so hope the current problems will improve once he is feeling less disorientated. I know I must be. More patient especially with regard to the incontinence issues it's all quite a learning curve, but hopefully we will get there.

We have a freesat box for our tv so we have to turn that on as well as the tv. My husband used to be able to manage it but that now is too complicated for him. So he'll turn on the tv and then comment that it's not working. So I turn on the sat box and get "Well done!" every time. Sometimes he goes as far as to add "You're good at fixing things".
