Depression can appear as dementia is some people. It's called pseudodementia, or dementia of depression. If the depression is treated, the dementia symptoms will also resolve. She would need to see a neuropsychologist for differential diagnosis, if she was willing.

One that worked near me. He would just go off on women. Cussing and all kinds of crap. He was like 50 and a secretary. Former military too.

Finally, he cussed out somebody that didn't know he was completely nuts and they sent him to a regional office at the corner of the Parish.

Guy was legit nuts. It's amazing they let him stay there for 20 years.
