DH Paranoid irrational thoughts. Help.

DH has been through so much over the last few years. Stroke, double pneumonia, ARDS, anorexia and more.

Now he's showing signs of paranoia - like getting a job with a F1 team, his best friend 300 miles away sabotaging my car, many more. He's so sure he's right that, if I didn't know better, I'd be half inclined to believe him. He won't be budged though.

He's so convincing that I have to question myself. I had PND and went through something similar. It was horrible to know I was thinking rubbish but I still believed it.

I'm worried that it's down to the brain trauma and that it could be early onset dementia. So, with his consent, I phoned the GP.

GP suggested I make an appointment for DH this week but he is refusing to go if I do.

What should I do?

Maybe you could make the appointment and tell him you are going to go to it yourself anyway, and he can either go with you, or you will go alone. He might change his mind when it comes down to it.

Thank you MajesticWhine. I just needed to stand back - get an objective view.
