What Could Be The Reason For Having Garbled Speech And Memory Problems After A Nervous Breakdown?

My sister is 68years old. In sept.2013 she had a nervous breakdown of some kind and now has garbled speech,memory problems and can seem quite normal until a conversation suddenly gets misunderstood and she becomes very irrational and confused, believing she is being verbally attacked. What might be happening to her?

Dear thank you for sharing your problem with us.
Probably the last episode your sister experienced was a stroke so you need to consult your doctor and do a brain CT scan to exclude stroke.
Wish you all the best
