Yes, rarely: For the most part, the hormone blockade would not cause confusion. The hormone blockers can make any pre-existing condition gradual worse but they are also reversible. That said, after giving this therapy to >1000 men, only once have i seen someone with pre-existing mental disease have serious rapid worsening. This was fixed by stopping the hormone blockers.

Possibly: Hormone therapy for prostate cancer, especially over extended long term can cause significant fatigue. This can lead to some degree of mental confusion. Regular light exercise, both physical and mental can help to combat this.
