some medications also cause dementia-like symptoms.
If you post your Dad's meds, I'll evaluate them for you.
Also some elderly react to trauma and surgery with a sudden low thyroid function. This may mimic dementia as well. Having this tested, and fixing it may improve cognition.
I would demand a B12 level done, and it should be 400 or above ...low B12 also mimics dementia.
