Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

My husband also has MCI. He has been stable but lately he has been paranoid- accusing me of things I do not do. He is also not keeping his dates straight such as wanting me to cancel services because he thinks it interferes with a luncheon date he has that day when in reality it is a month away. He just is mean sometimes.

@kmliste I know how you are feeling. My husband has MCI or early Alzheimer’s - they’re not sure which. Last year he started accusing me of things I didn’t do. It really upset me and was getting worse and worse, so I finally went to our family doctor who prescribed an anti-depressant (Lexapro) for him. It made a huge difference. The accusations basically stopped, so now I am better able to handle everything else (memory, functioning, etc.) that is also happening.
Good luck - I hope you also find something that helps your LO and yourself.
