Awaiting MRI results for my DF, he is 86 has been slowly getting worse but last 3 months is having pretty much constant hallucinations. It's now a conspiracy against him and the people he sees are destroying his home and garden. He has written letters to the council, called the police and constantly goes outside to confront them. He is also seeing animals and babies. We are waiting to see what the scan shows but it is very depressing for him and he is genuinely distressed. He has been prescribed an anti psychotic and anxiety meds in the interim until results. Also sleeping tablets as he was staying awake defending himself against them
So sad to see him like this, anyone been through a similar scenario? We are struggling to help him deal with it as he is so convinced.
