Does Anyone Else See Features Of Paranoia In Their Care Recipient?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Even at her best, I see things that are “off” with my significant other. The dementia waxes and wanes, but she often sees people who aren’t there, and asks me about them. “Is anyone else out there?” is a common question I receive at home. Suspiciousness factors in; if I am perceived to have been gone too long at the supermarket, she’ll be angry and accuse me of meeting someone.

My husband also sees people that are not there. He also has been fixed on the garage, he thinks someone is living in it.

On the brighter side he has been sleeping a little better since I started giving him melantomin. This is a great place to vent as we all seem to be in the same boat. Stay strong Ruth.

Wish I had something for you on this one. When white lies and deflection don't work, You have a challenge. Say "they know not what they do" a million times and you might get over it. Blessings to you and yours

I went through this with my hubby. He saw children and animals and all kinds of things. I just went along with him. He still sees things now and then in memory care. His meds have been changed so now he's pretty mellow.

She’s acting paranoid. Her doctor should prescribe a drug that will bring her anxiety down. As Bill would not swallow pills I started crushing it and out it in ice cream so the taste of the meds is not noticed. Don’t wait on this it’s too upsetting. The brain begins to see threats everywhere as it deteriorated.
