My 92 year old dad doesn't want to take his medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just ask him: Couple things are going on. He could be sufferring memory loss, sufferring medical problems that he does not want to deal with, taking too many meds that may have side effects, depressed, refused due to expensive costs or afraid of taking it. He could be wanting to die peacefully and not to worry about family issues.
