In the past it has been an infection, or a medication problem when anything like this has happened. Lorazepam. It almost did her in. They did a urine test on Thurs. no infection. She is argumentative. And, so sure she is right about things that she is obviously wrong about. She does everything but calls me a liar. I realize there is nothing I can do but let it go. I can no longer trust what she tells me. I have no idea if she knows what she is talking about? What can I possibly say to someone who can not recognize a picture of themselves or someone else? She has not been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or anything of the kind.
My oldest son has mental problems. Sometimes he is so nasty I feel like I can hardly stand to face the day? Between the two of them, and a very demanding
spouse OMG... I sometimes want to just stay in bed, run away or something!
thanks for listening.

What you describe would be common in certain types of dementia. The picture incident may indicate that she thinks she is the age of the people in the picture right now -- that she has "lost" the present and is in the past, at least for the period of time you were there.
I am very sorry for your heavy burden right now.
