Sudden personality change in my grandfather

Welcome to Connect, @secaries.
How frightening this must be for your family. I'm tagging @IndianaScott @nanax2 @rmftucker @sallysue @tavi @kateia and @marilee to get their insights. We're not experts, but your grandfather's change in personality does sound like similar to other caregiver's experiences with people who have dementia.

Secaries, has your grandfather noticed his changes in attitude? Does he return to his gentle self periodically?

I'm unsure as to if he has noticed the changes, but sometimes he's fine, and other times he devolves into an angry paranoid man. It's getting concerning now, seeing as it's becoming more frequent. The problem is, we know it's not him in there, so to speak, but it's unlikely we would be able to get him to a doctor because he's pretty stubborn, even without the recent issues. It's even more difficult because my parents and I live 2 hours southeast of them.
