In agreement with Dr. Bailey about challenging a person with dementia-that would upset and confuse them.

Learn about delusions and how to talk to someone having a delusion. It would be important to determine through a psychiatrist or mental health professional if the delusion may cause the person to become a danger to themselves or others.

I looked this up, because warning flags keep going up when I hear advice saying to just go along with it. I was taught to 'never entertain a delusion'. So, if you do not confront it, and do not agree or go along with the delusion, find out first exactly what a delusion is, or is not. Then, how a mental health professional might ask questions to the person having a delusion.

I recommend this article:
