Dear Mark, I would certainly discuss this with your doctors. Is the person in question an older adult? Older adults who take a number of medications can suffer from medication-induced dementias and psychoses; also some drugs can cause Parkinson-like conditions. And, I'd also ask the physicians to do blood tests for the B vitamins. Often, chronic disease can cause us to significantly change food choices. A chronic lack of vitamin B can lead to an Alzheimer-like dementia; in the early stages this may be reversed by prompt administration of a pharmacological dose of B12.
