[quote=Anonymous]I'd say continue to keep an eye on it, because it could go either way based on the limited anecdotal information provided. In my own anecdotal experience, I've seen it go both ways in people I've known. On the one hand, it is totally normal to lose some inhibition and care less about things like using the wrong bathroom. On the other hand, if it gets more severe, it could certainly be a sign of dementia or another cognitive issue. For example, my boss is 74 and works successfully full-time but has occasional moments like what you've described every couple of months. On the other hand, my mom is 75 and declined from slipping on words here and there to being in hospice care with dementia within 8 months. FWIW, my mom's decline was very obvious to me before it was to others in her life, so I'd trust your intuition.[/quote]
