I took my son to Emergency Department because he’s not eating and has lost 12 lbs. in 1 month, he’s so confused! Demanded that they admit him and do an mri. They refused and said this is not a medical issue, it’s a mental issue!!! I’m fed up with medical system, all they want to do is give pills out and not get to real issue of what’s wrong!!! Losing 12 lbs in a month is A Medical issue

HI, I'm sorry for your troubles, but I think your post is in the wrong place? it's not dementia related. I'd suggest making an appointment with a mental health professional asap, and seeing your primary care physician asap. Emergency rooms are terrible I think, I avoid them. another idea is to search the NAMI page for the crisis hotline, let your son talk to them. they may offer ideas.
