Bewildered

My husband went from one day being able to walk, dress, and feed himself to now not being able to do anything, and he is hallucinating all the time. Has anyone else had the same experience?

  1. Hi , Hallucinations are common. While you're waiting for feedback from the community, I wanted to share a few articles:

    Does he become agitated when hallucinating? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

    1. yes

    2. , you can speak to his doctor about medication to help with anxiety, which feeds the agitation. Here are a few articles that I hope will be helpful for you:
