10. That's what I was wondering. Drs these days prescribe so many drugs....

and those drugs can do some weird things to a person's brain and behavior.

Reminds me of the last days of my paternal grandma. She was a feisty little cajun woman...a bit crude, but funny, laughed a lot, talked a lot. She turned into a quiet zombie. My dad investigated and saw the top of her dresser covered with bottles of pills. He asked her, "Are you taking all these pills, Mom?" She says, "The doctors told me to." He got a bag and knocked all the bottles with his arm off the dresser and into the bag, and went to ONE doctor and asked him what she absolutely needed to take, because he wasn't going to have her taking all those pills anymore. All she did was sit around and drool like a drug addict. Turns out she did just fine with far fewer pills, and became more lively again.
