Dementia is the general term for cognitive dysfunction, and this encompasses numerous structural brain disorders, and toxic and inflammatory conditions, with the classic culprit Alzheimer's disease. Schizoaffective Psychosis is a psychiatric disorder and does NOT cause classical dementia. If this is confusing, a second opinion should be sought. Are her symptoms secondary to her medication?
