Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that dementia comes under the domain of neurologist only and thus you should see one early . There are certainn assessment scales like MMSE used for evaluation of cognition that needs to be done .
When the frontal lobe is involved Behavioral abnormalities are commonest which can be mistaken for depression , in later stages patient can develop disinhibition also . Patient may not follow social norms .A wide variety of such behaviour is seen depending on parts involved . language skills and memory are affected at later stages . Semantic dementia may be seen .
A MRI Brain should also be done if your treating doctor feels so. You should see a doctor early for this .
Take care.
