I went to see Dr. Berkowitz, my neuropsychiatrist, yesterday. I told him of my depression problems and he changed my medication to a stronger and higher dose.
Depression is a major symptom of Alzheimer's disease. In fact, patient's are often misdiagnosed with depression before the true cause is discovered. Although my depression is more long lasting and probably familial, Alzheimer's has definitely aggravated it and made it more profound.
We will be leaving next Thursday to visit our son's family in Michigan. We see them once or twice a year. We're looking forward to a week-long visit.
