My mother in law suffers from dementia, family members manage her with her forgetfulness, repetitive questions, anger, irritability but some particular times of the day like in the afternoon and night before going to bed she becomes unmanageable. She keeps asking for people in her past and insists to call or meet them please advice whether any medicine can be given to her to reduce her irritability and anger.

Proper history along with physical examination will be needed before starting any treatment. Yes the anger and irritability can be controlled with meds. Also her dementia can be improved or atleast reduce its progression. Consult a psychiatrist personally.
