Hi will contact both those links next week. Thanks x

There are elements of her behaviour I haven't mentioned, but I am certainly no expert & not qualified to make a judgement. It's just really frustrating that nobody is willing to deal with this. I agree though that it could well be schizophrenia.:)

Sending hugs, its horrible to deal with. I hope things go ok today xx

Yep I agree. In my opinion there is an underlying issue that hasn't been diagnosed. I think it could well be schizoprenia or narcisistic personality disorder. Going to try citizens advice today but at the moment nobody is willing to listen. x

I will start keeping a diary of evidence. There is such drama every day that one day merges with the next. Thanks

Hi, yes there are numerous clashing meds, it concerns the chemist to. I have tried to discuss it many times with my mum, social worker & gp. Mum is addicted so won't give them up, gp really isn't interested & social worker won't do anything medical unless she has gp's guidance! The citizens...

Will try & do that, its a good idea - but she can be crafty!

Oh that is awful, I really feel for you. Its not the same scenario, but my brothers ex wife accused him of abusing his son. It took 13 months for him to gain access to them, police said there was no case to answer & when it went to family court the judge was fabulous & threatened to remove the...

Yes, these days I don't know why I am surprised by that!

Hi thanks for your reply. According to gp my mum has been tested for alzheimer's/dementia & the results show her clear of both, in her words she "has no concerns about my mum", meanwhile we are in a living hell. I know you are absolutely right about UTI's but lots of these behaviours are...

I saw that too!

Thank you for the link & for your support. I will keep fighting for help & appropriate care.

Yes I agree, that is my aim. Have pushed social services into chasing mental health team as I am really not convinced that it is all down to a UTI as she is now completely lucid & does things like this all the time. I am so confused by it all, I just know her behaviours are completely out there...

Thank you x

Hi Have spent the morning on the phone to doctors, have spoken to care team that give her meds (as she abuses them )& then phoned social services who say it is a medical problem & needs to be sorted by gp. I insisted that they note my concerns for her safety on file, they have just phoned me...

Well done you.......pat on the back, keep it up x

OMG has anybody out there had to deal with trying to get help for an elderly parent who has mental health issues & is constantly doing crazy things!!! Care agency blame doctor, doctor blames ineffective mental health team, social services blame doctor................................& around we...

Thank you so much for all that information, I hadn't managed to come across them when looking, but then I really had little/no idea what I was looking for! That gives me some idea of what they are thinking & a clearer view of what is going on. Once again thank you x

Thank you so much, I will refer to gp:)

Getting diagnosed can be terrifying so your reaction is perfectly normal & this is a great site to talk, gather information & gain support. Talk openly to your gp or consultant if you are referred, explain your emotions, concerns & fears. I have found my gp & consultant/diabetic nurses amazingly...
