My Husband Has Been Diagnosed With Dementia, Altz. About A Year Now.
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Walking means shuffling feet, memory loss while doing something, not sleeping well, but the worst is the mood swings! It’s like he’s bi polar. Some days are fine, others horrible! I know he could become violent, his frustration is so bad when things go wrong for him. I just walk away, and try to continue as normal. These moods can last up to three days, and then all is okay again. Am I alone with this experience? Help please.

Contact your doctor, there’s medication that will help.

I'm so sorry . There are " mood leveling drugs". I'd investigate with his doctor before your husband becomes violent. 3 days is a long time for a mood to last.

We have entered a new " easier " stage. We changed medicines a couple of times. Right now we are able to attend church and he isn't as frustrated! I'll take it!!! Thank you Lord
