People with Alzheimer's disease may also become suspicious and may accuse someone of stealing from them when they cannot find something. When the person with dementia does not remember where he put something, the idea that it has been taken by someone may appear to be a reasonable explanation for its being missing. Tell him you will help him look for it, and try not to mention the fact that he is the one who misplaced it. He may feel relieved when the object is found.
Paranoia in people with Alzheimer's disease appears as unrealistic beliefs, usually of someone seeking to do them harm. They may hoard or hide things because they believe someone is trying to take their possessions. These symptoms can be very distressing both for the person with AD and for you. Remember, what the person is experiencing is very real to him. It is best not to argue or disagree. Try not to take it personally. In this situation it is best to offer to help the person to find the missing item. It will not be helpful to try to convince him that his explanation is wrong or based on his poor memory.

This is not intended to be funny. I really think he might be sick, in the clinical sense. My friend's mom is going through this and it is very distressing for all concerned.

(22,000 posts)6. He has seemed to get worse in terms of his attitude since 2008
I think he reluctantly backed Romney because he was the party nominee, but really wanted to see a stronger candidate. He knows his party is getting decimated.
