Hello @gerimickler and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It is so understandable to feel isolated when caring for your husband. It is also so great that you recognized the need to reach out to get support for yourself.

You will notice that I have moved your post into a fantastic and very active discussion specific for caregivers caring for family with dementia. You can click here to see where your post is now: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/caregiving-for-dementia-sufferers

The main reason I wanted to bring your post here is to help you connect more quickly with members such as @IndianaScott who started this discussion as well as members such as @billchitwood @janet7 and @raebaby who can all relate to needing connections as they are also caregivers.

Has anything changed recently that has you feeling particularly more isolated or is it just a build up over time?

Actually I have a husband with Dementia and now he has heart failure! Someone in this group
Mentioned a PET scan and a geriatric psychiatrist. I would like to know the reason for having these done? Are these essential for Dementia treatment?
