Spouse with cognitive problems and finances

I am having new symptoms going on with Will! He doesn’t speak very clearly and he mumbles to himself as he goes from room to room. I am getting worried because He is getting more difficult for me to understand. He is also getting very upset when he says I am wrong about something and has to prove to me he is right. He has always been a controller and likes things his way but he has gotten better until now.
He seems more forceful and emotional when arguing his case than he was before. I am almost thinking that his anger might occur again like he was when I first met him.
Want to find a therapist we will see if things seem to be changing so much, perhaps asking a social worker.

The med that the doctor put him on and the one they took him off seem to be helping - thank heavens as it was really getting bad. Now he is relaxed and smiling. Also admitting he does have dementia and needs help. Before he was claiming we were 'gaslighting' him! Among a lot of other 'charges'.

Both of his doctors were very concerned (as were we) about his anger - that it could turn violent.

He kept telling them that yes, he did erupt in sudden anger but had never physically abused me. He hadn't but mental abuse is a hidden one that does a lot of damage.

Do find help. Prayers are with you.
