My wife has been hospitalized recently and has been told to leave two assisted living facilities because she is too difficult to care for, meaning she is off a lot or has psychosis. Psych meds don't help her much.
Is anyone familiar with this? Is it time for a new neuro?

It's always good to have a second or third opinion.
