My father is 70 years of age. He was in job till 65 years of age. After retirement in (2012) he was fine for around 2 years but after that his mental & physical condition started deteriorating. Like memory loss & confusion in brain some times even forgets his own kids names. Confusion in brain reached to this extant that he says he wants to relieve him & want to go to toilet but he goes and doesn't relieve & sometimes he relieve himself on bed even for stools too. He complains that he don't know what is happening around him. He is taking Azulix 2M Forte twice a day for diabetes & for BP Triolmesar 40 once a day & both diabetes & BP are under control.

Hello, the description of your father's symptoms sounds like he is suffering from dementia. It is a common neuropsychiatric condition in old age especially in patients of high blood pressure and diabetes. Unfortunately it is a chronic condition but there are a few medicines which help slow the process and reduce the behavioural problems. Kindly take a private consultation so that a detailed history and appropriate medication can be started for your father. Along with that you and family will require counselling on how to take of your father and cope with this illness.
