Nothing is working to help ease any of these horrific symptoms. She is in a nursing home. She has been for the last 5 months. Mom can not live alone and she tried living with one of my sisters. Mom's extreme paronia, mixed with delusions, and her not feeling safe. Absolutely THE hardest decision my family had to make. Any suggestions… read more

Seroquel For Dementia
Hi everyone:

My Dad Is Sundowning During The Day. He Believes That His Wife Is The One Doing This To Him. A "voodoo Spell ".
She basically just leaves him be because he becomes agitated and angry. He's not violent YET. He's very stubborn. Has refused medication, doctors visits. (They just want to take his money ). I'm looking for those of you that have this problem and any ideas on how to handle it.
