I was wondering about other’s thoughts/experiences with anti-depressant usage in Alzheimer’s patients. For context, my mother is late stage 5. She previously was on an antidepressant though apparently not taking it when she was still living at home. I moved her into assisted living (not memory care yet) a little over a…
Hello. I am new to ALZ Connect. I am looking to connect with others who have or are experiencing what I am going through as an adult child with a parent with ALZ and another parent who is losing it as the care giver.

I am visiting with my parents for a few days and my Mom is very confused. She has Alzheimer’s . She often does not recognize my Dad and thinks he’s an imposter. She is scared of him. He will tell her it’s him. My brother lives with her and he says “that’s Dad.” My Mom is very confused. She says the only two people she…
