Suggest Treatment For Syphilis
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?

Hello
As 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.
