Anyone have experience with Psychiatrists being used for LBD patients

[Guest guest]

Today we had a Psychiatric nurse visit Mom.

By the time she left, she had my mother so emotionally upset that she is ready

to go back to a nursing home and die.

She brought up things to my mother that happened 30 years ago and hasn't been

disgussed in 20 years.

Our battle with the outside caregivers has turned into a social worker telling

us that WE have become Lewy body dementia. Our extreme efforts to make people

understand the disease has taken the place of taking care our mother.

Our mother does best when she has structured days. Up at 6, breakfast at 8,

regis at 9, lunch at noon....etc. Anything out of that structure causes problems

with her. This company sends occ. therapy, phys therapy, and a nurse. We have

explained time and time again that our Mom needs structure. To no avail we wont

here from them for 3-4 days then they call saying " We are on our way " . Next

thing you know, 3 people in one day unexpected.

My sister is so frustrated. Psych nurse told my Mom that she has LBD, what it is

and everything. Brought up old memories of my sister dying, my dad dying. Then

she leaves with my mom all upset and my sister to deal with it. Psych nurse wont

be back for 2 weeks.

I'm calling my Mom's neurologist tomorrow to see if she should be talking to

this psycho nurse...no pun intended....It seems to me that it is more

destructive than constructive.

Interested if anyone has had similar experiences

Thank You
