Your mother was diagnosed as Alzheimer's. Since her score is 20/30 (probably on MMSE), it must be mild dementia.
It is unfortunate that she is unable to tolerate Donep (Donepezil). i hope it is a 5 mg tablet to start with.
Since she does not have any other health problem, her life expectancy must be - many more years.

Hi, ocd is frequently difficult to treat. It frequently requires augmentation and use of high doses. Behaviour therapy is a good mode of treatment to be used alongside medicines. Fluvoxamine could be augmented with memantine or low dose risperidone or clomipramine if the body tolerates. Take care. Consult privately for more help.

Der Dileep,
Sorry to hear your father, Maths teacher, has dementia.
The behavioral problems are not tolerated by the family members. If you start attending the family members' group, you will understand why your father gets angry and leaves home. If the family understands his present level of memory and accepts it as such, behaviour of your father will change. If you people point out accusingly or treat him as though he does it purposely, it will worsen.

Psychiatrist•Visakhapatnam
Admenta (memantine) is a cognitive enhancer usually used in dementia which mostly affects the elderly. To understand one's own mental health problems and how to treat them - the only effective way is to discuss all the questions and doubts with the treating psychiatrist. At an age of 38, I doubt the utility of admenta. Please consult your psychiatrist and confirm your diagnosis and the most significant symptoms that need to be treated.
