I am new to the group. My mum has Dissociative Disorder and Vascular Dementia/Early Alzeimers. She's had a challenging session with her psycologist yesterday and she is finding it difficult to contain her anxiety.

Hi @Minch and welcome to the forums
I'm sorry to hear about the difficult time your mum is going through, and I'm sure that it must be hard on you as well.
Did your mum's psychologist spoken to her about any strategies to manage anxiety and panic? Or are there any that your mum already uses or has tried?
