@cathy514 - is there someone else who might see you for the anxiety and depression in the meantime?

I'd also like to tag @gingerw and @hopeful33250 to join this conversation as you are experiencing this condition. Is posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) your most recent diagnosis? This is the information on it from the Alzheimer's Association https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-dementia/types-of-dementia/posterior-cortical-atrophy.

Do you get out with friends or relatives at all lately?

@lisalucier Thank you for tagging me in this conversation. @cathy514 Have you contacted the Alzheimer's Assn, for more information? Also, chances are there is a senior services office in your area, that can connect you with groups and social activities that you might enjoy. They will also have a wide variety of resources for you to consider in being able to get some socialization. Are you working with your primary care doctor or neurologist with your need for getting out to see people? They may also have some ideas for you. Think about activities that you enjoy, and would like to do. Do you have a religious community or church that you attend who can offer you support?
