My husband has mild cognitive dementia. 80 yo, I am 66. He has always been obsessive compulsive but it is getting worse... he picks tiny crumbs of his napkin, locks all the windows and doors 3-4 times before going to bed, checks my windows after I locked the door on the car in the winter. Goes from the pantry to the fridge back and forth at least 5 times. Writes lists for everything and never follows up.that’s just the tip of the iceberg... was wondering if there’s some sort of medication that he could take
She sees a geriatric psychiatrist. He comes to her Memory Care facility.
Perhaps you could make an appt for your husband, and take him for an evaluation.
From what you had written, I would just ignore it, as it could be so much worse.
But if you want to, check with your hubby's primary doctor to see what low dose meds would work for him. A calming med may help. Yet, you wouldn't want hubby glued to the recliner not doing anything.
