Pyochosis is not dementia. Very different things. But I hear what you're saying.

  They can be conflated, even by professionals. Something similar happened with my grandma, she had to sell her house and move into a nursing home because what was diagnosed as dementia. Afterwards, a specialist realized that it was her medications causing dementia-like symptoms, and after adjusting them, she became a completely normal again.

    Medication causing dementia symptoms is also not psychosis. Psychosis is a very specific state of mind, not something to just describe general mental illness

      This is nonsensical reply that misses the key point of this thread. Nobody here is claiming that psychosis = dementia. Almost the exact opposite. The only way your comment could be relevant is if you’re trying to claim that nobody has ever been misdiagnosed with dementia due to psychosis-like side-effects from prescription medications.
