My Dad has just been diagnosed with dementia. At 60 he is quite young although I know it is sadly not uncommon.
The family feel that now the dagnosis has been made the doctor's etc have just left us to it. I have encouraged both of my parents to get involved in the support groups which they are now doing.
I have always had the opionion that you should live every day to the fullest but my parents always put their lives on hold to bring up us kids thinking that they could enjoy themselves in their retirement and here they are with a very dim outlook for the coming years, how do you deal with that?
We have thought about seeking consultation at Harley Street or similar just to be sure that the diagnosios is correct and to see if threre is medication that can help, anyone have any suggestions/comments?
Would love to hear from anyone.
