[quote=Anonymous]OP, you say no dementia but memory loss and mild cognitive decline. These can be the first signs of dementia, along with personality changes (fronto temporal area of brain gets impact--impulse, aggression etc). A recent trauma can move things in this direction fast as well. I would second an evaluation. My mother started with short term memory loss and disorganization (not paying bills, etc), then some mild cognitive decline. She is now unable to find the right words--last night said "the breathing thing" instead of inhaler. She was an editor with an incredible vocabulary. She also has been more emotionally labile--mostly anxious and depressed but also has exhibited anger in a way that's unusual. We are on a waitlist but I think this is actually part of dementia I am seeing. [/quote]
