Tormenting Hallucinations

  1. "Two characteristics of Lewy Bodies Dementia are variations in lucidity and hallucinations." Mayo Clinic

    Even with the prescription of Seroquel to address the hallucinations, we are in a period of many hallucinations.  The hallucinations happening does not surprise me.  As a psychologist I have encountered many people who describe their hallucinations.  What does surprise me is the vividness and torturing aspect of the hallucinations.  His hallucinations are almost always about being taken captive, held against his will and mistreated.  It is so sad.  Not only are his external circumstances not what he would hope for, but his internal circumstances also torment him.
