Daughter dealing with Parkinson's father

Dad diagnosed has shown signs of hallucinations and agitation. Definitely accusations toward me, phantom smells, more pain than his usual.

It has gotten hard for me to deal with since he lives with me. He seems to have more depressive and painful days. Not sure if his cognitive behavioral issues are due to his pain or in conjunction. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum, although sorry you have to be here. I have no experience with Parkinsons, but pain can affect behavior even in well people. I would consult his doctor.
