Ray Ekins, 78, has dementia and was prescribed olanzapine, an antipsychotic prohibited for use in older people with dementia. His daughter Susan asked his geriatrician about significant changes in his mood and behaviour. He told her that her father was old, and she and Ray would just have to accept it. Susan moved Ray to a new facility which helped to wean him off the drugs.
