Symptoms
Is any of these a symptom of Dementia, or something else? Dry mouth, sleepiness, hearing voices, bad eye-sight?
Dry mouth is often the result of medications, but it can also be dehydration. Sleepiness can be depression or other health issues. Hearing voices? That can be mental health issue or organic brain problems, but is definitely something that needs to be addressed. Eye sight issues, of course, can come with age, but can also be brain related. Fluid on the brain can cause some of these problems. Only a good physical - which includes a mental evaluation - can figure all of this out.
Good luck with this,
