[quote=Anonymous]She needs to have a MoCA test to evaluate whether and how far she might have declined cognitively (Montreal Cognitive Assessment). She needs to ask her PCP. The Kaiser website has a feature where you can access her online account (with test results, prescriptions, and messaging features to all her doctors!) if she signs off on it. You could then communicate with doctors on her behalf. Please persuade her to do that before she gets any worse. About UTIs: yes, they can lead to temporary mental confusion in the elderly, but no, these symptoms are likely not the results of UTIs. It's either a temporary and accidental overdose of medication with psychotropic effects, or a form of dementia.[/quote]
