My experience with my mum was completely different to all yours because all the medical professionals believed my mum was of full mental capacity years into her having dementia when she clearly wasnt of mental capacity and they would not listen to me. It was terribly frustrating. When i called my mums GP initially concerned theh would not do anything at all until she approached them herself. I was in tears and it was years before she would attend the doctors. She was diagnosed with dementia and altzimers. By the time she attended ghe doctors it was too late to put her on the medication that slows down the process. I think that is also wrong and a trusted family member should be listened to by doctors and medical professionals. How can they comunicate with a person that lacks mental capacity?? My mum may have lived a while longer had they listened 😢😢😢😢
