Hello
Hello all.
I have a family member who has late on-set paraphrenia, also known as late on-set schizophrenia (in medical literature it appears there is some discourse on whether or not to classify paraphrenia distinctly due to generally a lack of negative symptoms).
The on-set began in her middle age with delusional beliefs and suffering from anosognosia, but otherwise has had unchanged or minimal impact to intellectual function since on-set apart from the significant delusions and associated stress. She had a long professional career prior to her later years and subsequent on-set in later part of life.
I wonder if there are other caregivers here to family members who have late-onset paraphrenia/schizophrenia. This condition I understand occurs significantly more common in women in ratio, and on-set occurring later in life in middle age to elderly years.
