Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your mother developing dementia following a history of chronic seizures I am suggesting she has developed a condition called brain stem infarction due repetitive seizure attacks
The symptoms of dementia include loss of memory both long and short term confusion
In view of this please see a neurologist specialist for expert clinical assessment Councelling and adequate drug prescription
Yes dementia is a branch of seizure only when it is chronic
I hope this helps Regards
