I'm new to this list. My father is 77,was diagnosed about 5 years ago with PD. My mother,72 is the caregiver. Recently he's been showing signs of dementia/paranoia, making it even more difficult for her to care for him. His medication(sinemet) has just been adjusted and hopefully will minimize this problem. We are looking for ways to help her handle him when he's like that. His personality has always been kind, lovable and the opposite of what he acts like during these episodes. In my reading I've come across different opinions on whether dementia is in fact a symptom oof PD. Any suggestions from Parkies and/or caregivers would be welcome. We love him and want to try to care for him at home as long as possible. Betti Betti S. Adams [log in to unmask]
