[quote=Anonymous]My mom is 75 and had a TBI that she hasnt seemed to fully recover from. I also wondered if she had some minor cognitive issues before this. She's always been eccentric...but now it's amplified, and I can tell there are some short-term memory issues. She does live independently (alone), and I haven't noticed any issues with that, although she doesn't seem to go out much anymore. What should I do as a first step? If there is anything I can do that would help medically, I'd like to pursue. But my aunt said an official diagnosis of dementia (which I'm not sure she has, although it's likely/possible) would lead to problems if long-term care is needed. I'm also not sure if a TBI can be helped, if that is the cause. [/quote]
