It would seem that her condition needs to be controlled with more appropriate medication. Neurologists are fine for PD, but your mom case sounds rather complex. A psych consult might help. Also, anger is a phase in the progression of dementia. I sympathize with your difficulty coping with your mom - those of us who witness this behavior on the 'outside' have nothing but compassion for family members that must deal with it every day. I sincerely hope that you can find a way to bring her some happiness while relieving the your stress level. -------- Mary Ann ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
