Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. Based on those, we need to exclude dementia.

Common investigations required are a brain scan (CT or MRI), vitamin B12 level and thyroid profile.

Once the cause is known, we can start appropriate medications.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
