[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people are piling on you, OP. I would not appreciate such behavior either!

I think you need to call to see how she is, and ask her how she thinks that day went. My friend's mother had early-onset Alzheimer's, so... these things can happen.

You think it's dementia if someone dresses up hot??? Dressed in a too tight dress -- dementia! Put on makeup -- dementia! Bought toys that DIL doesn't agree with -- dementia! Took too many photos -- dementia! Put those photos on Instagram -- definitely dementia! Just listen to yourself. [/quote]

PP you replied to. Unusual impulsivity, forgetfulness and inattention are MOST DEFINITELY symptoms you see in early dementia. Other explanations are:
- she may still be feeling some fluctuations from menopause or HRT;
- she had an argument the night before or the morning of with her spouse or someone close to her, and it made her behave weirdly; 
- she had alcohol on the way over; 
- she had drugs or too much/new type of medication; 
- she has a brain tumor. One of my BILs died of a brain tumor. Those can happen too.

I don't know why you're trying to make fun of me, but you're looking rather ignorant yourself. OP says most of these behaviors are not habitual for her MIL. [/quote]

Because the prevalence of dementia for her age group is non-existent.

To copy from Google: Dementia is relatively rare at age 58, as most cases are diagnosed in individuals over 65. While dementia is uncommon in this age group, the overall prevalence of all-type dementia for individuals aged 50–59 is approximately 27 per 10,000 cases, or roughly 0.27%

The MIL had fun at the party, that's all. [/quote]
