My dad’s condition has deteriorated during the lockdown periods. He is able to socialise with other people, attend his classes or enjoy the things he used to. I’ve watched his mental health take a turn because he feels trapped. It’s not his fault - my mum and I share all caring responsibilities, and we work full time. It’s hard for us to entertain him and work at the same time. It’s caused noticeable changes in him
