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.
- feet 4y agoMedication causing dementia symptoms is also not psychosis. Psychosis is a very specific state of mind, not something to just describe general mental illness
- DiggyJohnson 4y agoThis 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.
