Thank you. I needed this post right now. My husband's Lewy Body Dementia has progressed to the point where his short-term memory is barely there. He also has issues processing what he sees even though he has 20/20 vision (it's visual brain dysfunction). And he has difficulty processing what he hears and trouble expressing his thoughts. His execution functions are practically all gone as well. He has Capgras syndrome with many mild (for now) delusions / hallucinations. His neurologist says he is maxed out on the cognitive and delusion / hallucination medicines: 25mg Seroquel (quetiapine), 34mg Nuplazid and 33mg Rivastigmine patch as well as 50mg carbido/levodopa (he has bilateral hand tremors). Increasing or adding any of the cognitive or carbido/levodopa would/could increase the delusions/hallucinations and/or possibly make them dangerous.

I think all of your suggestions, especially compliments and thanks from me will go a long way to easing both his and my anxiety.

So, thank you for your post.
