She is afraid to handle tsdks like driving distances and has trouble making decisions. Strong mood swings and some depression. Her condition is becoming worse. Any suggestions Dr. Rynne?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Memory loss and episodes of confusion she is experiencing are concerning for possible early stages of dementia. Depression is a common association with memory loss. Detailed neurological evaluation, Thyroid function test, vitamin B12 levels, complete metabolic profile and CT brain requires at this point. Please be advised to follow up with her primary provider or neurologist.
