J.N.R Dutton Nov 29, 2019 in Mental health Some Medications Side Effects Can Mimic Dementia I was reading about some medications side effects that mimic dementia. It makes me wonder how many people have been erroneously diagnosed with dementia when in fact they are just suffering a med side effect that their Dr’s just didn’t consider. How many people are wasting away in nursing homes and such because of such oversights?
