Hi everyone as you might remember my dad has cbd, dad has been in respite care for the last week, just to give mum a break,nurses have noticed dad is getting very paranoid

My question is have any other cbd careers or cbd families, have had the same issues.

We are due to pick dad up today, and I'm sorry I'm not looking forward to it

Hi Ryder,

Although my CBD spouse did not have this symptom, Ive read numerous posts where caregivers reported "paranoia" or emotional over-reaction on the part of their loved ones. Neurologists say it can occur when the part of the brain being affected is the fronto-temporal region, where (I gather?..) Social behaviour, and executive function are controlled. Not uncommon for CBD patients to experience this.

If you have access to a neurologist, definitely bring it to his/her attention and ask for care-giving/behavioural guidance for your mom.

Good luck Ryder! Keep us posted. XX.

Thankyou so much

Dad, CBD, never showed any paranoid tendencies. I imagine that just about any type of mental issue could arise though, depending on what areas of the brain are being affected.

My wife who has CBD also had problems when she went into a nursing home for me to have respite. She worried we had put her in there for good. The last time she caught gastroenteritis and ended up in hospital. We now pay for a brilliant care worker who takes my place in the home.

I have now had three breaks with no worries.

Hello, Ryder. Wish I had some insights for you, but my husband with CBD has not experienced that symptom. It wouldn't surprise me if he settled down when he gets home. Like many of us, neurologically impaired or not, he may be upset when his routines and environs are changed.

hi thanks for the feed back, as we been home one night, I thought dad might have settled down, but seem adamant someone was trying to hurt him in the home. ive asked what he means, but he just keeps saying they were all out to get him. I have been back up to the nursing home where he was to speck with management and they all agreed that dad was fine up till his last night. so today is no different, im going to have him explain everything to me and write all down so I don't know so he can vent but I honestly thought the nursing home was great even offered to swap with dad he stay home and mum and I go park up for the week there ...............im hopin we get past this stage. we have people coming over tomorrow to try with easy movement excercises
