What Causes Excessive Talking, Spending, Impulse Control Issues And OCD Overnight?
My father, who is 73 years old, had sudden personality changes over night. He has had many test/scans and everything is coming back normal. He is experiencing excessive talking, excessive spending, impulse control issues, OCD, etc. All of these traits are the opposite of what he normally does. Do you have a reason why this could be occurring?

this is neuropsycology problem. most important is psycological analysis. the test you have mentioned are not required. please have the test with medical advise. do not go for test of your own. now counseling by clinical psychologist is required. if required management by psychiatrist may be started.i hope your father will improve
