What causes childlike behavior in an adult?
human
My father is 66yrs old. Recently he was being hospitalized due to ill health. From then his behavior is becoming different. Sometimes he behaves like a child, doesnt eat, speak etc. majorly he remain sleeping or laying on bed. He never shows interest to sit, watch tv, going out etc. Can you suggest me what am I supposed to do.

Hi dear,Childish like behavior in this age is may be due to atrophy changes in brain.so first of all do MRI of brain if possible.how's your father's memory?in past any psychiatric illness?any medical illness going on like hypertension diabetes etc?any accident history?Consult psychiatrist or neurologist.Thank you
