   My mum has only just been diagnosed, so I'm no expert, but the anger is a pretty typical symptom of the condition. Once the treatment begins they'll be able to give your dad something to reduce agitation and anxiety, so hopefully that will help keep the anger at bay. I was actually able to speak to a psychiatrist (organised through the geriatrician) who did a phone consultation with mum and the following day called to speak to me, as I'd spoken confidentially to the geriatrician about some of the issues mum was experiencing. That was really helpful, because I could be pretty frank with him about some of mum's issues, and he could be pretty frank with me too without worrying about upsetting her. When he asked my mum if she every gets angry she said no, never. But I said yes, often. And when I described some of her outbursts he recognised them as pretty typical and mentioned specific drugs he could prescribe to help calm the agitation. So if it's possible, make sure you mom is able to accompany your dad to appointments, and she can let the doctors know that there are some issues there. If I'm talking in front of my mum, I don't say things like "she loses her temper a lot," I say "she gets overwhelmed easily," and the doctors pick up on my hints. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. 59 is so young.

   While rexulti did help my dad’s aggression, it also led to about 6-8 bathroom accidents a day.. Felt like it left him so sedated he was barely able to get through the day. Went from a social person to a zombie. Decided after a few months it wasn’t worth the added bathroom issues and sedation. Now back to looking for alternatives as taking him off has brought back the anger. Currently only on lexapro, though I agree with your post that maybe just another combination is needed. Possibly Seroquil will help if it has helped your LO so far.

   Geez. She had a broad range of friends and relations - so did mine. I think - maybe she was just an awful person - is that why these guys don't feel the need to help? But I don't have any evidence of that. Maybe they just don't understand how horrible this all is but then, how can they not see the pain and struggling and exhaustion? I realize I'm just super hurt by their choices and it isn't my job to decide what they wanna do but it's difficult to control the anger. On the other hand - the few friends that come out of nowhere become family and that is huge silver lining.

   Saying goodbye - First off I want to thank everyone here who has shared their experience with their LOs here. Never shared anything of my own but frequently read and learned a thing or two about my own situation, especially since I'm not US-based. I'm trying to navigate grief and anger at this fucking disease that took what was the person I loved the most in the world, so sharing a few things that have been in my mind since my mom died last week. \- Everyone involved in caring for your LO is doing their best out of what they think they can help with. Sometimes it was easier to judge and carry resentment but I'm glad all I did to care for her I did it having my mom's best interest in mind, not worrying about even distribution of roles with others involved. So, now I'm at peace with that. Can't say the same for others because they got away as things got worse, but they'll have to live with it. \- Some people think your LO is no longer that person they grew with as they keep declining and need more and more assistance with the most mundane tasks. That's fine and can be understood. In my own experience however, your LO is still there and can still express love and other emotions until the last minute. Even if they're not there mentally, their presence still reacts to how you treat them. Yes, she could not hold a conversation for more than 2 seconds in the end but I'm sure she did feel loved and cared for all throughout. I'm also sure she felt scared towards the end and that hit me really hard. \- Caretakers need help. I think we also need to reach out for help when we need it. Taking care of my mom was exhausting but having more than one person help in different ways made all the difference. If you are doing this alone, you have my utmost admiration yet I'd encourage you to really assess all your options. \- I think I was ready to let her go to some extent. It turns out I wasn't. This disease lets you grief for such a long time so I thought I was but still the pain of having lost her is too much to handle sometimes. Fuck Alzheimer! \- When she stopped eating and started having difficulty swallowing I knew it was almost the end for her. I simply didn't know how common was for pneumonia to be the thing that would take her. I thought it would be her heart or liver, not her lungs aspiring drinks. I feel so bad I insisted her to at least drink stuff in her last days as I think I may have accelerated her process. \- I have been thinking about my own aging and mortality more than ever now. Will I get it too? Do I do something now or eventually to spare my family from all that suffering? Nobody knows, but expressing your preferences in any case is a good start Anyway, I think I will leave this sub soon after but wish you all find peace and strength to deal with this horrible disease, whether it's you who have been diagnosed or someone you love. I feel like I have been released from hell at the expense of sacrificing my most loved person.

   So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You’ve had some big misfortunes, and I hope this has been and will continue to be balanced by blessings in your life. Re the anger, my mother and I have had a good relationship, but she’s always been much closer to my sister—they considered each other best friends. Now she’s often angry at and suspicious of my sister. I’m the golden child now—she only gets upset with me if I try to defend my sister, which I avoid doing because it’s pointless. I hope this doesn’t happen with you and your wife, but if it does, please let her know that the anger bears no relationship to reality and can’t be overcome with reasoning—just something we need to accept and work around.
