Yes, it was music that he listened to when he was younger - it was a 60's alternative music spotify playlist.  Unfortunately his disease has affected his speech so he isn't actually able to tell us what he wants so I chose the music knowing it was what he used to like.  I played it maybe for an hour or so. ...

This is slightly relevant to the topic, my Dad has Grade 4 GBM and has been becoming quite anxious and aggressive.  I found that when I played him some 60's music he started singing along and seemed to become 'lost' in the music so I definitely think it can help some people. ... View more

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.   I will definitely suggest to her about counselling and I think she would be open to it.  She has respite once a week for 2 hours which is all she seems to be able to get at the moment.  They do have many visitors and we try to send her out as much as possible whilst we look after Dad so she is getting little breaks here and there.   Thank you for the suggestion of checking out his medication side effects, I hadn't thought of that.  He has been on dexamethasone for a few months so that could definitely be the culprit.  His speech and mobility really improved after taking it but not so now so might ask the doctor about whether he really needs to be on it.   Unfortunately he is not actually able to say how he really feels as he gets his words mixed up and can't express what he wants to say so I don't think any counselling for him would really help.  We are pretty sure he understands what is happening so it must be so frustrating for him to not be able to tell us how he feels.  He can't read or write and lost interest in watching TV but I put some 60's music on for him the other day and he was singing along a little bit which was nice to see.   Anyway, thank you again and all the best to you and your journey.         ...
