This sounds outrageous to me. Why are they not treating him for his symptoms? Wow….I’ve been active with the online dementia care community for years. I’ve never known of anyone who had dementia to not be on meds for anxiety. The reason is due to them being quite anxious about their condition and the changes they are experiencing. Most primary doctors treat patients who have dementia as do neurologist diagnose them.

Also, meds for Alz are particularly helpful for early and moderate stage dementia according to my dad’s doctor.

I might inquire if they have experience with diagnosing and treating conditions that cause dementia and if not locate a second opinion. Best wishes with getting some answers.

Thanks for your response!! I am Momma bear after this last appointment
I was relying on the medical community. It's in my court now. One thing about me. Not afraid to ask questions. My husband's care is my #1 priority

My husband was put on anxiety meds early on and he hated them. They gave him nightmares. He’s now 5years in and what is working for us is a simplified life and constant reassurance that I love him and will never leave him. Lots of kissing and hugging.
