Patient: We found our mother in February 2010 talking melancholy, repetitive language and sleeplessness. She went to the psychosomatic department of the Seventh People’s Hospital in Shaoxing for medical treatment, and the doctor said that she was depressed and was hospitalized. After hospitalization, she did not like to talk to people or watch TV. (My mother has been suffering from type II diabetes for 2 years, taking diabetes medication) When she was first hospitalized at the Seventh People’s Hospital of Shaoxing, her symptoms were not talking to people and she did not like to watch TV, but her condition became more and more serious afterwards, saying that her nanny stole money. Shaoxing Seventh Hospital psychosomatic department to see 2 months, the mother MRI, CT examination is normal. After being discharged from the hospital and returning home to recuperate, psychotropic drugs did not stop, appearing to control the incessant walking back and forth (we could not persuade). Home rest for about 3 months, the condition became more serious, such as mouth said to eat, give her rice rice pour out, said to jump, to go to the river, etc. This is the person can not walk, because of the heat like to sleep on the ground (on the straw mat). We sent our mother to the psychiatric department of Shaoxing Seventh People’s Hospital, the doctor said it was Alzheimer’s disease combined with mental disorders, sent to the hospital in June and now nearly 2 months, the brain to a little clearer, can not control, keep walking back and forth still no change. What is the reason for the inability to control and keep walking back and forth, and what medicine can eliminate this symptom? Doctor: Your mother’s case belongs to dementia with psychiatric behavior symptoms, walking back and forth constantly is indeed abnormal, please pay attention to your mother’s mood, if she is very irritable at the same time, then this phenomenon may be the result of agitated emotions, can be controlled by psychiatric mood stabilizers. If the mother is not agitated, the phenomenon may be a persistent behavior or repetitive action, which is harmless in itself, and is only puzzling to us as bystanders, then there is no need to intervene, as this is also a way for the dementia patient to dissipate her energy.
