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.

My dr told me when people have dementia one of the things they stop doing is eating like they used to, my son can not speak for himself, he is mentally challenged, I speak for him!!! No one will help him, I called crisis hotline for him all they did was direct me to hospital. It’s not mental when your losing weight that fast and stay confused. Have to be directed to your own bathroom where he’s lived for 19 years. Have to show him where his bed is. Please someone tell me how I can get him help!!!
