Dementia

[Guest]

My dad has a long history of depression
Recently he was diagnoised with an abnormal PET scan which indicated dementia. Has anyone had experience with someone who has both?

Hi,
My Dad has dementia and severe depression. He is taking 100mg of zoloft and will probably be on a higher dose in a couple of weeks. It has helped with the depression.

Can you explain what a PET scan is?
