Ask Dr. Schwartz: Psychotherapy and Mental Health questions
Archive · Read the Disclaimer · Biographical Statement · RSS Feed

I have a problem of sayng things that are wrong or backwards. For instance, the other day I indroduced byself as my sisters mother, when I was thinking my sisters sister. I say things backwards like \" thats my coats sister instead of \"thats my sisters coat.\" I do suffer from PTSS. Last night I caught myself not recognizing number on a bingo card!! I am very nervous about this and dread going to the doctor. I am only 40 years old, could it be a sign of Dementia? Thanks, mommanette
