[QUOTE="linnyb, post: 1220998, member: 272549"] 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 happening when there are no infections. She is lucid & calm one minute but barrackading herself in the house saying there are people after her in the next. We are all hugely concerned as you can imagine. The carers are in agreement with us but social services, the gp & mental health teams refuse to act on the issue. Even the poor neighbours have had enough, she is waking them in the middle of the night & disturbing them throughout the day with stories I wouldn't have the imagination to make up. I am sure she is hallucinating or having psychotic episodes, we want to help but whenever she sees gp/social services she has the ability to come across completely lucid. The carers are unsure if some of the behaviours are attention seeking but believe like us it is a mental health issue despite the level of MH meds she is on. I am at a loss! [/QUOTE]
