She believes everyone having a conversation are talking about her, becomes defensive and/or upset. She thinks people are taking all of her things, clothes to toothbrush. She is constantly moving and hiding her things in her bedroom, and then believes they have been stolen. She will talk about leaving to find a policeman. This is happening everyday and is exhausting! Any helpful ideas please?
It made life a bit easier for me...however, it didn't stop the things in the kitchen from being taken to other parts of the house. I never did find a way to stop that.
My husband is now in a memory care facility, on just two medications and he seems a lot less paranoid and distracted with all the other peoples activity around him. He's only been there two weeks today but things are working out.
You may need to get her some antipsychotic medication or increase her dosage if she's already on it.
Best of luck to you.
I suppose that there are some cases where the anxiety or delusion cannot be addressed, but from what I have seen most can be. I would also add that often these types of behavior occur in stages and the patient often doesn't continue with it indefinitely. So, that should bring some hope.
However, they do need to adjust them formthenperson because my husband got them too close together once while still at home and he couldn't talk, barely walk and was crawling around looking for something. This lasted for 7 miserable hours!
Be sure to ask about the meds because I was the one who had to say if the current meds and diseases were working or not.
We tried two other meds before we got this workable combination.
Best of luck to you.
