Hi all,
I hope someone can write down to let me know what are indications for someone whose lost their mental capacity.
I have the knowledge and if I know what to look out for it will help me greatly.
I hope someone can answer this question which was raised in the comments above:
when is talking to oneself is considered not normal? I read online that it can be normal and as mentioned above that it is normal but to what extent is normal and what is not?
I appreciate anyone who can assist in that.
I am aware and know, that no one can diagnose anyone or give a diagnoses on the forum. I am positive of this, but I am looking for signs or indications.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all,
Is there no one out there who has some ideas or pointers about the issue.
Please read the posts above,
I like to know the following:
- when is it considered not normal (or lost mental capacity) when someone talks to themselves?
- what are the signs or indications that someone has lost their mental capacity?
I am aware that no one can give a diagnosis based on the above comments and it needs to be face to face meeting. I just want to know if there are indications.
I appreciate any comments or ideas.
thanks,
-
