How to convince my spouse to go to the doctor for her memory issues?

Posted by RN @doclarrea, Oct 12 11:05am

My wife who’s 79, has memory issues; she’s gotten lost a couple of times already, but when I approach the subject of her memory loss she gets mad and replies that she’s not crazy. She doesn’t accept that she needs help.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers: Dementia Support Group.

@ljchr I do agree. Many are the conditions that mimic some forms of dementia.

@doclarrea, how are you doing? Has your wife agreed to a medical appointment to rule out what might be going on?
