What Causes Inappropriate Sexual Behaviour In An Elderly?
possibly not sick
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Looking at the history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Dementia disorders can make elderly lose inhibition. However, they do not do it purposefully in dementia, as they lose all rationale.
2. However, if he had done, what he has been accused of doing, then he would have some amount of dementia set in. He would be doing it at other times too.
3. If you think, he is loosing memory, behaving indifferently to circumstances, loss of words, and unable to manage himself, then we are looking at possible dementia. I think he is not, as his wife or yourself would have noticed.
4. Psychiatric disorders would have been noticed. I strongly doubt any. However, if required you can get a psychiatric opinion.
Not to worry at present and no use getting worried or making others also worried. Look closely, watch for any behavioral change. If nothing, not to worry.
Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
Dr. Prakash HM
