Hallucinations

I think that we may be starting to enter this part of her disease. She is mentioning things that I fail to see or notice around her. I may be getting confused by her descriptions of events as she is referring to some things as he/she and referring to people as it. So, it may be confusion with pronouns instead of hallucinations for now. Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member

Hi . Is this something that your loved one has recently started to experience? If you haven't done so already, it would be a good idea to discuss any changes in behavior with your loved one's healthcare team. I'd love to hear other community members' experiences; in the meantime, I'm sharing an article here that talks about changes in mood: https://alzheimersdisease.net/symptoms/mood-changes Warmly, Patty, Team Member

I just came across your post. Yes, both of my parents (had Alzheimer's Diagnosis) and both at later stages of the disease experienced hallucinations. It is unfortunately, commonly seen in those battling Alzheimer's Disease.
I have experience in the health care profession. However, it's way different when you observe hallucinations in your loved ones. Have the hallucinations been diagnosed by a physician? I only ask because there are many things that can mimic hallucinations and or other underlying medical conditions or infections that may attribute.
I have also attached an article link on hallucinations and some strategies on how to cope with them. https://www.alz.org/help-support/caregiving/stages-behaviors/hallucinations Please keep us posted. Also, if you have any specific questions about hallucinations, please just reach back out. I will do my best to reply from my experiences.
