Recently my mom was hospitalized in a senior psych ward. She had a psychotic break. She was very paranoid, anxious, hallucinating, acting out by hitting, etc before they put her in the pysch area. She was in there for 3 weeks until they could find the right combo of meds to bring her back to “reality”. So far, so good, but I’m really nervous that she will take a step back as the dementia progresses. It’s scary to watch someone go through this. Has anyone had to deal with this before?
The take away is that there is treatment for this and you can take some solace in knowing help is available if it happens again.
