This becomes true at some point in the progression of the disease, and it is the reason you have to “go with it.” Treat them as if you take them seriously even when they do or say something totally outrageous. To them, it’s real. If you argue or try to correct them it just pisses them off and you become the enemy. They need to feel like they have a friend.
