Hi. I’m hiding in the bathtub as I’m reading your post and it so resonated with me. My hubby was diagnosed with MCI and depression earlier this year, even though I’ve been noticing symptoms for years now that I’m aware. The antidepressants are helping with mood swings but Im noticing that the MCI symptoms are getting worse. Side note - he thinks he doesn’t have MCI anymore because he’s feeling better on the antidepressants. We are on a quick vacation right now and in the last week he has lost two credit cards, fallen off of a chair in public while tying his shoes and was having trouble keeping the golf cart on the path today. He’s also started talking at elevated volumes and is childlike quite often in his responses (like cheering and clapping during a domestic abuse movie?). Our Counsellor is saying they are all front local executive functioning errors.

I was hoping it would all stay stable but I’m scared of what the future holds for both of us. Big hugs to you as you go through this as well. I don’t have any sage advice. I just wanted you to know that you aren’t alone. I think this may be one of the most difficult challenges I’ve faced so far. This forum is great though … especially if you just have a bad day. 💕💕
