Hi, i do care for your concern. The drug dapsone has no relation to it. However Alzheimer's disease could produce this type of symptoms.
I would advise
To consult your physician and get medicine for Alzheimer's.
Usually anti depressant will help a lot. Hope everything goes fine. Hope i have answered your question. If you have more questions feel free to ask.
Thank you.
