Hello :) I turn to you for advice if anyone has encountered a similar problem. It's about my grandmother, she is 73 years old. At the age of 1-2 she started showing symptoms of dementia. But it wasn't a problem. He just forgot or talked incoherently. But suddenly it started to get worse, the drugs didn't help, rather they hurt. It got drastically worse. He stopped recognizing us, began to become aggressive, neglected hygienic habits. We had to tell her it was time to eat, to go to the bathroom, to go to bed. And suddenly she began to fall into frightening states - she became aggressive, began to see people, moved furniture, developed faucets. In the evening he does not sleep at all, screams, gets on the table, hits the stove. We talked to a psychiatrist, she went to the Psychiatry, where she was simply drugged. But they still couldn't tame her. We did a head scan and it turned out that it was not dementia, the brain cells were completely preserved. Doctors mentioned that it could be schizophrenia. She was prescribed and told to take diazepam and medicines for schizophrenia and dementia. But she got worse, super inadequate and only slept during the day. And in the evening it becomes indomitable. He doesn't seem to notice us at all. Do what you want. She undresses naked. He bangs on the windows. He picks up food and then eats it from the ground. If anyone has encountered such a case, please tell us how you coped. Thanks :) She undresses naked. He bangs on the windows. He picks up food and then eats it from the ground.

Hello, Author! The diagnosis is clear and you know it. There is no way to deal with this problem - unfortunately. A man with such a parent tells you that. The diagnosis is dementia, Alzheimer's or similar - whatever they call it. There is no management, day by day it gets worse, no matter what medications you give ... This is unfortunately ... The only salvation and relief is to take some sedatives from a neurologist. After an examination, they will give them to you so that she is not aggressive and does not harass you - she is a vegetable ... unfortunately ... This is the end, but not quite. Nervous outbursts are horrors and more frequent. The next step is to feed the grandmother so that she does not know how to chew and turn the bite in her mouth. Then it comes and it suddenly stops being able to walk and that's the end - so they spend days with drops of water only in their mouths. For me, my parent went from the first symptom to what you say, 3 years have passed. From this phase in which you are until the end of a year and a half or a total of about 5 years and went much younger than your grandmother's age ... This is my experience - a nasty disgusting experience. This is about my parent who I loved with all my heart and soul and now he remembers him both good and bad in those moments you are talking about. So just rejoice that she is your grandmother and help your parents as much as you can - even for an hour a week, listen to them as often as possible several times a day so that they have normal contact with you. . Sorry for the negative comment - but this is my experience.
