Sundowner Syndrome02/18/2009 |
Is it possible to have sundowner symptoms without other symptoms of Alzheimer`s disease observed? Thank You.
Sundowning is a condition of increased confusion in the evenings usually when there is less light reducing sensory stimuli to orient oneself well. It can be due to many different conditions and certainly not just Alzheimer's disease. Metabolic conditions, endocrine conditions, infections, vitamin deficiencies, multiple small strokes, other degenerative dementias, medications, eye diseases or conditions, and so forth. It is best to talk with the doctor to try to find the cause.
