I have a famiy member who seesm to show many symptoms of AD, however they will not talk about it nor go to the DR to get tested. The sings are growing with time, which is becoming concerning. Does anyone have suggestions on how to pursuade your loved one to see the DR and talk about AD with them?

JOY,

Welcome to the forum. I think you will find you have more response to this question if you re-post it in the Caregivers Forum. There are many people in that forum who are dealing with problems like this.

Here is the link.
