He is "Sundowning" which is what many Alzheimer's victims do in late afternoon. Wandering usually or standing still muttering.
I never heard of it either until my mom mentioned it during a scene of the movie "Robot and Frank" (quite good movie actually) where the main character Frank starts having one of his dementia episodes and completely forgets where he is and what he was doing while talking to himself until his robot helper snaps him out of it. Partway through his monologue she said "oh, he's sundowning."
It’s a real term. My fil has last stage Alzheimer’s and in the afternoon his mental, emotional and physical abilities are greatly diminished. That’s what his doctor called it.
I think about things like this often. I have Lupus and a debilitating disease called DermatoMyositis. Both autoimmune diseases. There has to be a CURE instead of these awful toxic prescriptions I take for SYMPTOMS. It’s so frustrating.
It's a real thing.
I first heard of it on the movie The Visit.
It is true. My father had Alzheimer's. Evenings became a bit difficult. I helped take care of him and my mother(still do her). He would be good most of the day, but come evening he was a bit of a handful some days.
