Does Pseudo-dementia Cause Imbalance Of Body?
Please Send my request to Dr Ashok Kumar. Dr Ro is a neurologist and he said pseudo dementia not PSP. He asked me what I wanted to work on first I said my memory. The second thing is my balance. Is pseudo-dementia involved with balance? Also tell me about HRT. Is this safe?

Hello,
It should not. Pseudodementia (otherwise known as “depression-related cognitive dysfunction”) is a condition where mental cognition can be temporarily decreased.
Depressive pseudodementia is a syndrome seen in older people in which they exhibit symptoms consistent with dementia but the cause is actually depression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
