Depression does not mean dementia. Many people with dementia get an antidepressant. How do you expect an answer by providing such little information to go on? Who said dementia was a diagnosis anyhow?

Can you provide a little more information? Not all people who take anti-depressant medicine have dementia, your mom need to see a doctor so she can go through a series of tests including cognitive test, she also needs to go under MRI scanning, it is difficult to diagnose a person with dementia and determine which type it is just because she is taking anti-depressant meds.

A behavioral neurologist at a clinic that specializes in dementia care would be your best bet.
