Suggest treatment for recurrent dreams about deceased partner
human
My 72 year old mother is having some really weird symptoms. She is either dreaming or hallucinating and it is always the same scenario. Someone (usually my dad who passed two years ago) comes by then they leave and say they will be back but they never come back. She has cooked three different meals for people she thinks are coming for dinner but never come. I have taken her to her regular md and they ran all sorts of blood, urine, ct scan, they suggested she see a psychiatrist. She put her on Donepezil and Resperidone. She has been on this for almost three weeks but does not seem to be helping. Any suggestions?

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I can understand. Hallucinations and related symptoms are associated with delusional disorder, dementia, schizophrenia etc. Your mother is already 72. I suggest as long h the behavior is not harmful to others, please let her enjoy herself by working for others. The medicines given may not be enough, but at least it will help sooth her. You may consult your psychiatrist again for change in medicine doses.  If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL.  Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
