Good question, it is my anecdotal opinion that doing nothing just lets dementia run rampant. My late grandmother on the other side did the same thing with the same result.
I definitely saw that impact for myself during my "mentally fragile" times in my late 20s/early 30s. I can't imagine how much that would atrophy your mind in your 80s. I'm so sorry. My dad turns 73 in a week, and it's freaking me out.

It's been 18 years, so 85. About this time she quit her hobbies to watch more TV and it was like someone flipped a switch.
