Our loved ones with Alzheimer's may begin to experience emotional ups and downs when they struggle with boredom, experience agitation, or worry about forgetting things. This takes its toll on emotional health. Additionally, some medications can cause mood swings as a side effect.
On myALZteameam, the social network and online support group for family and friends caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Emotional health is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.
Here are some conversations about emotional health:
• My father is stubborn, depressed, and refuses to see a therapist. Any advice?
• My mom has nothing to do. Any advice for us?
• My mom just retired is in denial and doesn't want to see the doctor for medication. Any suggestions?
Can you relate?
