How Do I Handle My Husbands 24/7 Hallucinations ?
My father had hallucinations at the after a number of years with Parkinson’s. While I was able find extensive information on what causes them, I found precious little info on how to deal with them. I developed my own approach, which worked quite well.
When my father was having a hallucination I asked him questions about what he was seeing. Explaining it to me allowed him to draw me in. That way he wasn’t alone facing it alone. He had company his hallucinations were usually quite benign when he was able to analyze them. It was facing them alone that triggered a fear response.

- Medication Review: Consult with a neurologist or psychiatrist to review and possibly adjust medications
- Safety Measures: Make household changes to ensure safety, such as removing dangerous objects.
