What Causes Excessive Weight Loss While Suffering From Dementia?
Hello, my mother has dementia. In the past few months, she has dropped 40+ lbs of weight and she has started wandering and getting into things. She has also started arguing which is a big change for her. She usually is wanting to dance and laugh. Why do I have to pay for this? What is this world coming to?
