What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Mental Obsession?
My 90-year old father (who has dementia really bad) goes to the restroom constantly... up to 16 times a day! I ve asked if he is experiencing stomach or bladder problems, but he always says no. Could this be a mental obsession (he does have some quirks now) or physical? I plan to take him to the doctor, but am curious in the meantime.

Hii
I admire you for positive outlook.
No it is not obsession.
it is the feature of dementia.
Due to registration deficit he is not able to memories schedule and due to age his colic reflex become very weak. so everytime he has reflex he goes for toilet.
so no need of extra treatment of it.
please continue treatment for dementia.
Thank you.
