Are memory loss, hallucination and depression due to dementia?
Patient: my mother has dementia, my dad has it too, but his stages were kind of a normal pace, but my mom is huliicinating, and her memory is lost , every 10 minutes or less she forgets what i told her and always gets hysterical, depressed , crying at night some nights worse than others. what stage is this shes unbelievable but is this normal dementia Doctor: there is no term called "normal dementia". There are many types of dementia. Behavioral abnormalities can happen in various kind of dementias. In few it can come in early stages like - frontotempral dementia and dementia with lewy body disease. and in few types it come in later stages of disease like in alzheimers disease. So its not possible to tell the stage of dementia based on hallucinations.
