Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello: I have an 85 year old mother who is showing a mental behavior of ppl coming out of the tv and visiting with her at different times of the night. As well as memory lapse about events and actions that have taken place. How should I go about handling this and what might preclude the causes of this type action?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It sounds like your mother has some form of Dementia. She needs to be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible to see if there is any cause that may be reversed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Kathy Robinson
