    NO!!!!

    Dementia is is a decline in mental ablity that usually progresses slowly in which memory thinking, judgment and the ability to pay attention and learn are impaired and a personality may deteriorate.

    Dementia usually starts out slow and progresses with time.Memory,the ability to keep track of time,and the ability to recognize people, places, and objects all diminish.This disorder causes people diffuclity with speechand abstract thiking,changes with a person personality is also affected.

    The 1st signs are forgetting recent events sometimes the disease starts with depresstion, fears, anxiety, decreased emotions or other personality changes.

    Speech patterens may change slightlythe person may use simpler words,use words incorrectly,or unable to find the appropriate words.In time the changes become more noticable and eventually the person can't function socially.

    The medications these people are subjected to can cause this effect(nausea).

    Health care provider often use antipsychotic drugs such as thioridazine or haloperidol to control the outbursts and agitation that may accompany advanced dementia.These drugs have serious side effects. Antipsychotic drugs work best with those who have paranoia or hallucinations.

    A wide range of drugs ,vitamins and nutritional supplements have proved useless in treating dementia.However what ever type medications a person takes it may cause nausea and if this is occuring daily, Id check the medications and look up all side effects of the meds.

    It could be a sign of a multitude of things. Medications, environment, mood, diet, and so on. Only way to know for sure would be to check with a doctor who can run blood tests and is familiar with all meds and so forth.
