Hi, I am in a relationship with a man in his late forties, that had contracted and was treated for syphilis about 4 years ago. He s delusional and has some dementia, that affects him in everyday life. Tho, he has managed to hold onto his job. He doesn t realize what s wrong with him and doctor s he see s are no help either. I am afraid to say what I think as I care alot about him, and he thinks I am trying to hurt him anyways don t want to be the one to make it worse. Help?
Hellos you mentioned that MAN patient was treated for syphilis. You didn't mention the status of syphilis at present. This is assumed that at present he is cured for syphilis ( because you didn't mention symptoms of syphilis). Now he is having delusion, dementia, and he is thinking that you may hurt him(his psychology). In my opinion you should consult a psychiatrist and get his opinion. Hope this will help you.
