Hello
I read carefully your question and understood your concern.

First of all to find the right treatement it is importat to find out what had caused that condition.
I believe your Family dr and neurologist have recommended you some tests and examinations.
I think for the dementia et depression a psychiatrist will help you a lot. I also suggest you to visit a gastrolog for the colitis symptoms.

It will be great both of them to cooperate to find the right medication et right doses.

Hope my information is helpful.If you have other questions,feel free and ask.I will be happy to help.
Thank you for using HCM.
Kind regards.
