A member asked:

I'm taking care of a 91 years old lady . i want to know the reason why she suddenly stop talking . please tell me how can i help her talk again.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many reasons: 91 year old is a tricky age when the body withering. Apart from alzheimer's any infection like urinary tract infection or new onset depression can make her stop talking. A thorough evaluation by her pcp or geriatrician is needed. If all comes back normal, keep trying, be there, talk to her, she might come around.
