Thank you for the response to my last questionCan you help me on this. Could he have dementia from hisright hemispheric stroke 5 yrs ago and still appear normal in all other aspects . He has terrible outburst of anger just at me. He Has become absessed with sex... I think he honestly believes that one of our sons and me have cheated him out of his money and that I am having an affair..(i am 70 and battling cancer...I am too tired to have an affair..... He also believes that our dead daughter comes to him and tells him he can walk.Because of his recent erratic behavior they tested him for dementia.. He tested above the cut-off for dementia but on the trail making test he had a poor performance but the Dr. said that that was because of his anger towards me . He gave him a clean bill of healthand said he was competant.He was not like this before his stroke . Just the last yr.  Could he appear normal and still have dementia..... Thank you
