Why does my husband have no ambition to go fishing and sleeps a lot in the day?

Before he retired and we moved away from our entire family 5yrs...it almost seems like he has given up. He us to be so active fishing, fishing,hunting.We do not do things together anymore and sleep in separate bedrooms.

Why? Because his brain is damaged.

Dementia is a very cruel disease, and it affects the lives of entire families, not just the person who has it.

Is he being followed by a dementia expert? Dementia is not curable, but sometimes some of the symptoms can be improved.

Is he suffering from clinical depression, e.g. mental illness?
