Unfortunately the padded room is not going to prevent her from biting herself or punching herself or pulling her hair out.  These are all possible behaviors when people go into uncontrolable rages.  Putting a restraining garment on them is difficult for one person to manage alone.  My father in law has Altshiemer's he has had a couple of violent outburst where he has punched people.  We have talked about the possibility of giving the residential home permission to sedate him if he gets violent. We have not had to do that yet but it might in our near future. 


I wonder if a mild short term sedative will help in your daughter's case?

Her rages are not her fault and she cannot control them.  As they become more frequent you won't be able to manage to restrain her just out of physical exhaustion.

I am so very sad by what you and your family is dealing with.  It is so very hard to watch.  (((HUGS)))  -RM
