My mom 78 years old just got diagnosed a month ago with beginning dementia, things have been good up to this last week all of a sudden she is sleeping a lot in the day and night worries me hardly wants to eat , really worried anyone go thru this or advice
Does she communicate with you? Does she complain of any pain? Sometimes a person in pain sleeps more or it could be depression. Depression can make one sleep a lot too. With some people, when they learn they are losing their memory and capacity to function, they get depressed. It's not unusual.
