My Mother Is 95 Years Old. She Has Moderate Dementia

In this acute onset you may need to bring her to see a doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help for you today. In this acute onset you may need to bring her to see a doctor. The doctor may need to do physical examination and if there are suggestions of a subdural hematoma, thrombotic stroke, or cerebral hemorrhage, her doctor may need to do neuroimaging with a head computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The treatment of dementia depends on what kind of dementia she has. If she has alzheimer disease, there are medicines that might help some. If she has vascular dementia, her doctor will focus on keeping her blood pressure and cholesterol as close to normal as possible. Doing that can help reduce further damage to the brain.
I hope that It can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I hope you have good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
